King had Lucille, Willie Nelson’s Martin N‑20 nylon‑string acoustic guitar was named Trigger, Eddie Van Halen had Frankenstrat, and Eric Clapton’s custom Fender Stratocaster was named Blackie.

The names can be cute, meaningful, musical, or inspired by the special work these two instruments help make possible.
