Looks more like 'stunning' than 'stella'

Craig,
 
Stella Blue definitely looks stunning being played in the sunlight. It made me smile seeing her so lovingly  played.

I have named a few of my treasured instruments after women who were significant in my life at the time I was using the instrument as my primary one.  
 
And before you comment..!! :-) No....i don't have a shop load of guitars named after women.... lol.  
 
So.. there are 3 guitars with names and the Alembic bass.  
 
 ..

Mule: Cool basses, cool names. As a Deadhead, I would have thought Birdy' would be short for Bird Song.
 
Craig: I'm glad that Tribute found it's way into a good Deadhead home. Fitting name.  
 
Keavin: Old #12 is absolutely cool...it looks like that thing will outlive you (God forbid). Keep on jammin'! A lot of guys bang around on old P's and J's, but you don't see a lot of old Alembics (actually, you don't see a lot of Alembics period, LOL!).  
 
Jazzy: Great (thinly) veiled sarcasm aimed at the ex. As a divorced man, I got a good chuckle! LOL!

I have to say that is one beautiful guitar Crobbins.That finish and shape is soooo cooool.I wish I could hear it being played.I would love to have a bass like that.Same shape and color.
Hey Keavin,aren't you from the Chicago area?I'm playing a show with Kenny Brack up there soon but I know not where nor when just yet.It would be a real treat for me to see the Godmother in person if it could be arrainged somehow.I was just up there last night to see a show at the Metro.The Hives rocked.

Keavin, alembicroyalcrown?  With old #12 shouldn't that be alembicjackdaniels?
 
My instruments are named like Magni's, the Alembic and the other ones.  I just couldn't think of anything appropriate.  I was going to name my Epic Cuchullian but can never remember how to spell it.

I had an Orion named Black Oak, an Epic named Blondie, and still have an Orion w/Std. Pt. body named Demon Seed! All named by a singer I work with. I named my Zeta, Pogo.

I've finally come up with a name for my Rogue.Since every time I play it,a quote from
one of my all time favorite comedians,Jackie Gleason,comes to mind.....
How Sweeeet it is.
So I named it Sweetness.

That seems to fit just right Dave.  How about the Epic?

Hey Sam,
    I just came up with a name for my Epic.Since my girlfriend loves animal print anything,I have decided to call my Zebrawood Epic Elizabeth in honor of her good taste in fashion,style and bass players.Namely,me.
