Name my guitar

Post by roachello »

You guys probably remember this lil' dude right here I designed a while ago for a school project. Well, I still need a name for it. Originally I was going to call it the ameoba, but then the whole gears thing happened so now it's more like a bionic ameoba but that name probably won't sell. It's like naming the guitar "The Surfinator". Any suggestions?

P.S. Sorry this is late, but thanks for the pickguard Aug<3 ur my guitar hero!

I like the idea of using the word gear.

Sprocket (Party on, Mike Meyers!)
Spinal Tap (it looks spinal--but you'd need a coil tap)
Vertebass (okay, it's not a bass)
Meataxe
Cleaver (pink would be...nevermind)
Ratchet
Ann Boleyn (looks like something you decaptitate with)

If you had gone with the orange around the gear things I would say you should call it the "nickolodeocaster"

naming a guitar (for me) is akin to naming a child. Fortunately, the guitar already has it's character and shape, whilst the infant does not, therefore making the job easier. Just brew on it, you'll come up with something.

And, the name can be anything from Lucille to Blackie. ((aug))

i've had 2 guitars called The Bastard, though i've been informed by my brother that since i stole the name from his friend's '73 Dodge Dart it doesn't count.

You need to name that couch it's sitting on. That's pure decadence. Nice!
