I’m thinking perhaps a guitar pun themed name, like GuitArnold, GuitArlene or GuiArthur. If I go for something serious, it’ll most likely be a woman’s name. Maybe Victoria.

Great guitar. This may seem weird but I think the Gibson SG is a better guitar than the Gibson Les Paul, the SG has a double cutaway that gives super easy access to even the highest frets, it’s not nearly as bulky as a Les Paul and I think it looks cooler and if Gibson wasn’t a total jerk to left handed people like myself I would get an SG because they are great guitars. As for the name, I noticed that you referred to the guitar as a she so how about She Said, She Said since George used his SG on that song it would be a perfect match.

You can really get that Day Tripper guitar sound with both pickups and everything up full. It’s got a weird scooped sound in that position compared to a fullish sound on each separate pickup. I must check the wiring to see how that is, a bit of a surprise. I have a terrible amp that doesn’t do it justice, but I can overdrive the usb interface with it already! To say nothing of the instant AC/DC gratification 😀 You’re right @Dark Overlord it’s a light guitar, and a fast neck, but the left-of-centre-of-gravity takes some getting used to, the neck seems longer than it is, and my strap is a bit slippery which lets it neck-dive a bit. I could go nuts and get some lighter Gotoh tuners but I think its just getting used to a guitar that is best played higher up on your body than a Tele or a Strat. Clapton’s “woman tone” is really easy to get too particularly up the neck. Once I put this through an amp modeller I’ll have a better idea of its range (planning on getting one that imitates Fenders from Champs to Reverbs and Bassmans), it’s both quieter than an amp and less expensive, and I can judge the coil-splitting better. Although I probably will get something like a Champ copy as I will be getting other guitars.

As for names, yes @Beatlebug I had considered “Cherry” but that seems too obvious, as would be Sounds Great. Technically @gettingbetter naming the guitar after that song would require a boys name since it was Peter Fonda and not a She. Fonda seems just a bit weird for a guitars name…although Barbarella isn’t too bad (Jane Fonda).

How are the 4 of your new guitars doing @The Hole Got Fixed @Martha @ewe2 @sir walter raleigh last night I put a black pickguard on my Fender/Squier.

Looks pretty sharp, dude! My fingers are getting better at electric guitar strings and I’m figuring out some ways around my issues with barre chords – either play the low ones, or play the top ones – my issue is with the A-shape barres, I can’t get a clear enough top string note, so I do the half-one instead. But it’s all good, really happy with the guitar who I’ve named Shona, an Indian word meaning “sweetheart” in three different languages and also has the connotation of hot/red.
