Name your instrument?

After two years, I finally have decided to call my main guitar (I just call it main, now) Marcie.

 

I have lots of instrument names.

plastic clarinet- Benny (after Benny Goodman.. duh!)
wooden clarinet- Willamina
bass guitar- Morgaine
tin whistle- Seamus

 

my djembe is outlaw. hahah

 

This subject came up in a post a few months back. My answer is still the same as it was then!

I have a fender strat - I call it "my strat"
I have a gibson SG - I call it "my SG"
I have an acoustic, I call it "my acoustic six"
I have a 12string acoustic - I call it....well you must get the point.

I never saw the point in naming an instrument. I am plenty attached to my axe without naming it.
I do have a friend who has an acoustic named Velulla, but only because an ex painted that on it in a drug induced stupor!

 

I call my Washburn Sylvester sometimes, but I'm still thinking of something better.

 

how nutty would I look if I named my voice....................?

 

My bass is called "the fucking thing".

-"The Fucking thing won't stay in tune!"

 

I named my gittar Dark Light

 

Haha, I named my Marcie because I believe guitars are typically feminine when it comes to males playing them and vice versa. On top of that, she reminds me of a tomboyish kinda personality, (ahaha... no offense, though) in the sense that she looks pretty, but she has a lot of faults in the electronics that seem masculine, and she has a strong tone. Gotta love those Gibson Burstbuckers and Seymour Duncan '59s... well, one of each.

I named my Guild 12 string Rae because that's meg's middle name (moonjavaseed), because she's my favorite person that I know (both online and offline) and I wanted to have a reason to think of her every time I picked up my guitar, haha.

I call my strat Sage or Jade because it seems very earthy and bare, but feminine and lighter than the tone of most strats, at the same time. On top of that, it's green.

Isabel is my Martin D-35. I named it that because the guitar arrived via UPS (I bought it from master luthier Randy Wood, one of the founders of GTR/Gruhn Guitars in Nashville) the day Hurricane Isabel made landfall, September 18th, I believe, 2003. Kept me company along with my stereo for about two weeks while power was out here and I was out of school.

 

You know, people keep saying that, but I just can't think of my guitar as a female.

 

I know, it depends, that's just how I've came across mine. It may change someday. Each guitar has a different personality, that's like saying is going to hell for being gay or lesbian. I just haven't found a guitar that seems male. Now, if Marcie was a solid colored strat, yeah, she would be a male. I just think this is too pretty to be a male... but she has a male personality. Kind of a like a best friend, you know. Btw, I lost a few bridge pins... heh. Rep;aced them with a new set of bone pins, now.

 

god george. you're so posh.

 

Haha, when it comes to guitars.

 

Parrots are posh too, ya know

 

Haha, quite. They're elegant, yet, fun.

 

Odd I dont consider my Guitar (Dark Light) ether male or female.Its like Drak Light is more playful than my dad's guitar (I sound really stupid) wile my dad's seems to demand a good player.IM GOING MAD

 

my guitar: Clapton
my organ: Rick (after the organist for Yes)
my harmonica: Roger (after Roger of the Who)
my recorder: Ian (after Ian of Jethro Tull)
my other guitar: Jimi (gee...who?)

my mandolin, other harmonica, and violin don't have names yet.

 

My red epiphone SG was christened Raphael.

it a male, definately.
i dunno about my acoustics though...

in the end i refer to them as electric, steel, or classical/nylon when i need to adress them lol

 

oh and art delfo, are the frets on the evil jester's lute supposed to be the wrong way around?
