musicians use to name their instruments.

 

e.g.: BB. King --> Lucile.

 

do you name yours?

 

which name?

 

where come the name from?

 

discuss.

 

(sorry if it's on the wrong forum :embarrased: or it has been already discussed).

lol people name their instruments? sorry but I find that just stupid :p

some people do it. they name their fave instruments that's not stupid i think...

seems a bit stupid to me

I did it.... :embarrased: :lol:!

 

The first song I learned on my acoustic was Working Class Hero by John Lennon (3 easy chords, plus it's acoustic. I just sat there one night and taught myself the Am, G and D). So... Well, I christened my guitar "Lenny" :rolleyes: I don't CALL it that, it was more of a joke.

 

But sometimes.... Sitting alone in my room I will gaze at it fondly and say "Oh... Lenny..." (no, I'm kidding about that!)

cool

A while ago I was playing a show with a band I was in at the time, and I was struggling for some kind of stage banter to kill time while the other guitarist was changing a string, and I decided then to name my guitar "Petunia" and play some blues licks (you know, to parody the B.B. King thing). Some people got the joke and some people just thought I was a jackass, I think.

 

So I guess you could say my Tele is named Petunia. :P If that didn't kill enough time I was prepared to name my drum machine and synthesizer which were also onstage, but it didn't come to that.

of course people name their instruments.

 

my guitar's called jonny for obvious reasons.

 

i sometimes call it that outloud but mostly just in my head.

 

can't believe i just said that! but thought id make the point.

i dont think thats stupid at all, i think its pretty neat that you love music so much that you personify it with a name, thats kinda awesome

NAME YOUR CAR MY SIS DOES :lol:

I HAVE A GUITAR ONLY DON'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY BUT OF COURSE THE NAME IS PROBALY CHRIS OR JONNY I NEED TO GET A PIANO!!!!!!!!!THATS CHRIS!

haha, I named my violin enrique

my friend named his guitar romina

 

i call my bass "happy bass" :lol:

ahaha my guitar's name is joan.

I just refer to my guitar as 'the mr strings' and the piano in my room as 'that stupid bastard'...i'm not about to give my instruments a proper pet name...

I named them as soon as I got them...

my classic guitar's name is "asia"

my crappy "missing-a-string" acoustic guitar's name is clotilde

and my electric's name is yellow

I have two guitars.. they,re named but for reference purposes because people get confused when i say hey pass me my guitar. :confused: But yeah again.. I dont think anyone really calls out their instruments name out loud. (thats just odd.)

I just got myself my first electric..

its a squier telecaster (I wish it was Fender just like Jons), and I named it "Josephina"

haha

 

I have no idea why, it just sounds dorky and cool ^^

Ive got too many damn instruments to give them ALL names. I normally refer to them by their make or serial number eg: my sax is called 677834 lol.

cool names....

God I name everything.

 

My first guitar was named Gordie after the frontman for the Tragically Hip. I have no idea why I named it Gordie, other than the fact that I am a huge Hip fan.

 

My baby, my one and only joy, my lovah (my Guild :)) is named Gustav because thats who I was studying at the time when my parents surprised me with it (Gustav Klimt). That guitar is one of the most gorgeous sounding guitars I've ever heard. If anything ever happened to that guitar I'd probably die.

 

I've also named the guitar strap Alexei. No reason.
