If this is a special guitar, a name will suggest itself. You don't need us.

Examples:
Brand X: My first black 1984 Yamaha SBG1000. Advertising used to compare products to "Brand X". This guitar is the standard I measure all other guitars against.

The Stalker: My second black 1984 Yamaha SBG1000. I liked the one I bought new in 1984 (Brand X) so much, that when I saw one just like it on eBay, I bought it. At first, I called it The Stocker to differentiate it from the much-modified Brand X, but then I modified this one as well, and the nasty edge it has now suggested changing the name to "The Stalker".

Thumper Thudpucker: Any Doonesbury fan knows who Jimmy Thudpucker is. Thumper is my bass.

The Beater: I just bought a beat-up 1966 Yamaha SG-2 sunburst 'cause I was jonesin' for my first 'real' guitar back in 1969. The name is self-explanitory.

The Pegger: when I reached out for leads on some parts to fix up The Beater, a fellow denizen of another forum that I frequent put me on to a nice, clean, 1966 Yamaha SG-2 sunburst in a pawnshop in Winnipeg. Not only that, but he went out of his way to try it out, take some pix of it, and he got the shop owner to set it aside for me, at less than the sticker price! "Pegger" is sometimes a derogatory name applied to Winnipegers, but in this case, it serves to remind me of a good friend. The Guess Who aren't the only rockers who grew up in the Peg, and no one can truly claim to have lived until they've spent some quality time wailin' through a Garnet amp. :D


So don't rely on us to name your guitar. Time, and circumstance, will name it for you.
