Mark bought a new guitar (a 1987 Fender Strat with Lace Sensor pick-ups) and he can’t figure out what to name it(her). He has this rule where guitars are named after famous female guitarists from the country of origin for the guitar.  His Jazzmaster is named Yoshiko after the guitarist from Japanese surf group The 5.6.7.8’s.

He’s thinking Corin (after Corin Tucker of Sleater-Kinney), Nina (after Nina Gordon of Veruca Salt), or Liz (after Liz Phair)… although those ladies don’t really play Fenders .

Or maybe Courtney after Courtney Love of Hole. Love actually has a signature Squire guitar (which looks like an ugly Jagstang), and early on played Jazzmasters.

The most appropriate ones would probably be Kelley Deal  (Breeders) who plays Strat w/ Lace sensors, Bonnie Raitt who has her own signature model Strat.

He hasn’t named his Mexican strat either.

Help him out!
