Easy... My favorite guitar is a Strat...

It just sort of popped into my head when I was trying to think up a screen name for a forum about 20 years ago. I was reading the book Zen Guitar and came to the chapter named Katsu. Thinking about the name I needed and how Katsu sounded like caster, the Strat part and katsu just fell together.
Some might say I haven't had another creative thought since then.
Unfortunately, over the years I've grown to play about 99% acoustic and almost no electric anymore. I've simply become too well known by that name and changing it to something like Martinkatsu or Taylorkatsu just sound right, does it?
