Default Re: Naming Your Guitar

Some 'family' photos below but I haven't really thought about giving them names. The first bass I built at age 17 (my firstborn) I named 'Catherine' after a girl I had a crush on. That girl, now my wife, is still the love of my life some 37 years later, although her namesake is a little more worse for wear.

My pride and joy is my 1957 Gibson EB-1 Bass pictured below. (My only adoption)

The a few other members of my once growing family are pictured below.

A number of 4, 5 & acoustic basses in various stages of completion. One photo of the 'before and after' of my 5-String bass made from exotic Bubinga wood, with rosewood and maple laminate neck and ebony fingerboard.

Finally a number of unfinished projects in my 'birthing clinic'.

Names?, too many to name... (It's so hard to see them leave home!)
For those interested, more photos at the Luthery Link below.
