Tone Quest
Tele-Holic
My guitar names are Taylor and Fender.
Ok, if I were a music legend like those guys AND I had a particular guitar I had played throughout my illustrious career, sure, name away. But my secondhand Eastman that I've played at one open mic, and my parts tele? I'm gonna call them Thelma and Louise with a straight face? Yeah, nope!I think if a name comes naturally, or maybe there's a story behind the name, sure. Lot's of snark here towards those who name their guitars, but Gibbons, Harrison, BB King, Willie Nelson, EVH, etc. all have had names for some of their guitars, so who cares?
I've tried, but felt I was working at it too hard. Closest I got was "Casper" for my Olympic white Tele w/ mint guard, but meh. So, it's just "Tele". My JM looks like what Boba Fett would play, if he played guitar. I thought about "BF", but that's dumb too. So, it's just "JM".
Anyway, I would if I could. Maybe someday something will emerge, but not going to go searchin'.
They have names, but never come when I call, just like the cat~
“2nd hand Eastman at one open mic” is pretty specific. It’s safe to assume no one else would either. : )Ok, if I were a music legend like those guys AND I had a particular guitar I had played throughout my illustrious career, sure, name away.

PS I don't really care what others do, but OP asked a question on a free forum.

Somebody's gotta do it.Speaking for all my fellow guitar namers, I would like to thank you for the embarrassment you've expended on our behalf. We appreciate it very much.
