Sometimes names for guitars just happen and it works. One night at practice, we were joking around about the Stratocaster I was playing and it was christened Tri-Klops in the moment. 3 pickups – 3 knobs - 3 eyes. Mythic, ominous, primordial and gigantic tone.
On top of that, Tri-Klops is Skeletor’s gammavisionary henchman in Masters of
the Universe. He can see through solid
objects, has night and dista-vision, and can shoot energy bolts from his
eyes.
It’s also fun to brainstorm names. Feel free to add to the list, specify what
kind of guitar the names would best match, and/or cast your vote for the best names:
Yeti
Blood Moon
No Quarter
Kraken
Neptune
Ghost Rider
Sunset
Phantom
(Billy) Bones
Black (gray, red) beard
Poseidon
Sikanda
Rhindon
Glamdring
Power Sword
Stormrider
Magma
Greataxe of Shifting Worlds
Godzilla
Artax
Atreyu
Falkor
Godzilla
Artax
Atreyu
Falkor
Yeti has to be furry like the ZZ Top guitar (https://deanzelinsky.com/blog/zz-top-zpinning-fur-guitars). Every time Kraken is removed from its case, it’s manditory someone exclaim “Release the Kraken!” Power Sword... sounds like a euphemism, to put it delicately. Girl names seem underrepresented here. Princess of Power, Teela (in keeping with the eighties pop culture). I haven’t named my guitars. Most of my cars have been male, one female. My motorcycles are both girls. Im not sure what gender my guitars are. Wayne and Garth are high on my list though.
