Location: Tychy, Poland | i've recently started to call my Legend Lucky. I was more convinced to scar, but one day after someone posted that name in topic where i've shown pictures of my Legend, i had that guitar in work.
Legend was laying on the floor with case open and my co worker tried to kill a fly, and he accidently hit hanging from the roof plant pot, which crashed just 5 cm from the case.
You have to believe me, those 3 seconds when that pot was falling down were longest in my life. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | No I don't name them but some get names. The Collings OM3 is Mevinn (maple, engleman, vintage neck(string spacing) natural)
The Collings CW-28 was Clarence (as in Clarence White)
The all maple tele is Whitey
The gold duco paint tele is GoldieT
A Hamer custom is Fat Boy (an arch top cutaway with full les paul thickness specs)
The National custom is 59 Fins (59 caddy engraving)
A National Style O is the Venician (per the engraving)
National Delphi is Sonny (Sonny Landreth name inlayed in the F/B)
The rest are just called by what they are, (CJ41, OM42, D-18, etc) much easier to keep track of them |

Location: Northeast USA | My Pacemaker is named "Pace". I know. Really original. :rolleyes:
My custom Balladeer is named "Katrina" because she came out of the hurricane from the "gulf coast" and I have so much respect for the work of everyone that put the life back into that guitar.

Captain, My Deacon 12 is black.
I recently bought a UK11 from a guy in NYC who said the guitars name was Julie.
Didn't really look like a Julie to me

Location: 6 String Ranch | In fact I think Tim's the guy who told me about it on ebay. The one he told me about was sold but the seller told me there were two and I could have the second one. I called National and found out there were 8 gold ones made, 4 here, 4 Japan and corrected him as I bought the second one. |

Location: Budd Lake, NJ | Rosa has come to me from our own Country Artist.
She arrived safely yesterday, and promptly entranced all the folk in my bluegrass group who know that I tend to pick pretty good favors of ice cream. (I usually end up playing my just-barely-a-mandolin Plink, 'cause someone's always borrowing whichever one of my guitars is there........)
And as for family planning, well, families do come in all different sizes. ;)

Location: 6 String Ranch | I forgot about Uncle Byron too. He's a 1931 National Duolian that was owned by a black coal miner in West Virginia. Uncle Byron bought it from him in the 40s(for $10). Steve Sutton bought it from Byron (Byron Hicks was his uncle,For $20)in the early 70s. It was all rust, horseshoe nail frets and dry rot, but played. Steve gave it to me in 03 with all the above plus no keys or tailpiece and a busted cone, a wall hanger. I brought it back to life in 06. I rebuilt it but left the look intact. Got it strung but before playing it poured 2 ounces of really good shine into the body and let it evaporate. It sounds great. |
