Bo Diddley - Big G

Willie Nelson - Trigger (named after Roy Roger's horse. He was a big fan of The Singing Cowboy.
Les Paul - The Log

Oh wow! I do hope that BB gets his dog back. I didn't hear about that one - I've lost a dog that way (didn't get it back) and I know how much it hurts.

And thanks for that additional names!

I guess if you can name your Car or your Boat, you can name your Guitar. Let's see...what should I name mine...I know!

Pawn - because thats the name of the shop I bought mine at!

I think Hendrix's black strat was named "Black Beauty" - forgot about that one too!

Black Betty is close.

I found out the names of more of SRV's guitars besides Number One and Lennie (and all pre-'63 strats):

Red
Butter Scotch
Charley

His tech said that he named all his guitars that he took on the road with him.

My electric is called *toffee*
and my acustic is called *whisky* (both refering to their colour)
naming guitars is great
