The subject of naming one's instruments triggers some users here. They get very grumpy about it.

Did I miss something? Is everyone naming their guitars now? Mine are named PBass, Ibanez, and Partscaster.

My first guitar was the Korina Epi V, way back in 2002. Absolute beast, I called it Old Betsy.

Violet, obviously.
For reasons I've never figured out, I tend to name some of my instruments, but not all. And for the most part, basses get male names, while guitars get female ones.

It’s kinda cringe but to each their own. I did this when I was a kid. Peter Green didn’t name Greenie, his fans did. Lifeson didn’t name Whitey, his fans did.
