Location: Right now? | OK, Patch ... "Paddy" it is! And thank you for the comment about my photos. Photography is one of my main 'things'! BTW, you're a pretty good photographer, too! I love the set up with the guitars outside of the MS building ... nice and rustic, which highlights the FABULOUSNESS of the guitars! ;)

Location: 6 String Ranch | As I think about it the ones that had names have been sold. The only one left is the Delphi that could be called Sonny, since Sonny Landreth's name is inlayed in the fingerboard. |

no. You don't keep them long enough to learn their names. Or you could call them Foster Child #1, Foster Child #2..... :p |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | I'm with Stephen on this...I have too many and the factory has given them nice enough names and numbers already...the closest I have come is to name the Adamas -7's and the Ovation -6p's "The A Twins" and "The O Twins"...I do put a piece of tape on each case w/the model number and year just in case I get senile.....uggh, what were we talking about again...??? |

Location: Budd Lake, NJ | The company gave them nice names and numbers? Gee, Mike, I read through your list, and all those numbers read like some kind of code that you need a special ring for! ;) :D
I've spent a couple years trying to absorb the model numbers that get bandied about here, and still get stumped.
And, somehow, at least for me, the names just seem more social, or personable, or something. Although in the Trader's case, I can see why he wouldn't name them--no name, you can't get too attached to them! (Sorry, Jim, I just couldn't resist...)

Karen, since I have so many, it's the only way I can fit them all in my sig line...there is not enought space to go into detail...hopefully folks will go over to the ning site and view them according to Names and Model numbers... ;) |
