They're just pieces of wood with strings on them to me too. I don't have a lot of them so my MIA Strat and my LP are both my go-to's. But I call them my Strat and my LP.
But sometimes they get nicknamed by other people. Or there's a story behind the naming - like BB King & Lucille.
Hell, some people have names for their cars.

OK - everyone but Burgess has a #1. They may not actually call it that but it's their favorite.
Geez who peed in your cornflakes this A.M.? "The guitar companies name mine for me blah, blah, blah..."

Albert King had Lucy.......
And everybody has a #1 - their go-to guit.
The guys in my old band called my Reverend Mr. Plastic.
Tom Morello has Arm the Homeless & Soul Power
I know there's more.
Oh, Pearly Gates! How could I forget the great Billy G.?

I was reading about the EC Blackie Strat the other day and I started thinking about how many other guitarists give their guit's nicknames.
I know that SRV had No.1 and Lenny.
BB King has Lucille.
Who else?
And do you name your guitars?

I think you underestimate yourself. I've read much, much worse in Salon.
You have a good writing style that is very natural.
The real deal would be a "novel" starting with the initiation at 16 through a certain point along the way.
Always leave them wanting more (and room for a sequel). -
Damn man! Horn section, string quartet great lyrics, danceable......
Do you arrange also?

I don't want to jump on the bandwagon but I have really enjoyed reading your war stories. The introspection and insight on the human condition really resonates with everybody reading this.
I can see why your band is called Telling Stories.
I envision some Steely Dan type read-between-the-lines songs coming from your life experiences.
Especially the Mexican Mafia/Elvis impersonator.
And the tortured relationship with Gail.
If you play guitar as well as you write then you are one talented person.
I just wish there were clips on your website.
(I know, I know - buy the friggin' CD)
Nevermind - D'oh! - found the download thing. I so smart! You guys sound great. She has a great voice.

Man! 20 feet! That's a lot of beer!
Glad I got in when it was still 10'.
Seriously, I want a sticker for my car when they're ready.
