Has anyone here named your guitar? Like B.B. King's "Lucille".

I named my apple red deluxe fat strat as, "Nikki".


Been playing for forty years...never named a single guitar (or car for
that matter). Is there something wrong with me?

The only guitar of mine that ever got a name other than something like "the
tele", "the gretsch" or "the guild" was my red guitar.

That one is assembled from various parts (japanese Squier strat neck, bound
walnut body by Joe Kovacic (Lado), 2 Firebird pickups and 1 fullsize
humbucker at the bridge, red pickguard, Nashville tunamatic and stop
tailpiece, wired strattishly), and painted red with a spray bomb, after I'd
chipped the bondo out of it.

That one was referred to as "the Pat-O-Caster" for a while. It still plays
and works great, but now it's back to being "the red guitar".

I suppose that some of the guitars over the years have acquired temporary
names, but those were generally not complimentary.
