LTG,
So many of you, so I see, have named your guitars. It sounds like a very personal thing to do and I suppose just any name won't do. I was told that I should only consider 'Girl' Names for my guitars as I would not want to be caught 'hugging' a guitar named 'BOB".
Anyway, as most of you know, I have two Guild Acoustic Guitars: a 1975 Guild D-35 and a 1967 Guild F212.
I have chosen the name: 'Olivia' for my D35.
Olivia, pronounced /o??l?vi?/ is a popular feminine given name in the English language. It is a Latinate name derived, first coined by William Shakespeare for a character in the Twelfth Night. It is possible that Shakespeare may have intended this name as a feminine form of Oliver; another possibility is that he may have derived it from a the Latin oliva, which translates into English as "olive".
I have chosen the name: "Zoe" for my F212.
Zoe is a Greek name- it translates as 'life'
So, there ya go....."Olivia" and "Zoe" !!!
