I have to think about the Howard Roberts ... how cool is that guitar! A seldom known guitar secluded and lost over the years ... call it "Cape Sable".

So there you have it, Port and Sable. Guessing no one but yourself and perhaps Tom understands those two names.

Those are good names, Dru. Running with them, I might go with "Order of Good Cheer" -> "L'Ordre de Bon Temps" for the Port, and "Island Pony" for the Sable.

There's a few other Nova Scotians around here, and of course those places are easy enough to duckduckgo.

Well, er, um, I was just getting to that, and it's exciting!

First, the pride, glory, and personal satisfaction of knowing a guitar and player out there will forever be grateful for getting meaningful recognition.

Second, I will personally sign your guitar, in a style reminiscent of one of the many masters: JS Bach, Jimi Hendrix, my own huge font flair, your choice! You'll not be able to part with that one!

Third, since you picked the name, I will name your pick! I have some pretty, pretty special names saved up, just for this occasion.

It's a win-win-win situation, imho.

Just pass all the details on to Denny Zager. What more glory could a winner aspire to?

Ah, Denny. I wonder what he is doing at this exact moment. Probably crowning some frets, or reading a treatise on pick design. He should name all of his guitars, to give them that little extra sparkle of light as they leave his workshop.

I seem to recall you're a bit of a metal head, but Jimi was the best. You know he gave up a lot of the theatrics, or gimics, as some called them, later on.

He, and his guitar, were on fire at Monterey. What a concert. Just between you and me, I never really dug the burning of something he loved. But the legend remains.

Doesn't anyone, Anyone out there, have a sense of humor ?!

You know, when I originally read your post, those names sounded vaguely familiar, but I didn't make the connection. I just liked the sound of them.

But now, after (re)listening to Great Expectations as an audiobook, it all became clear. I see you did your homework!

I think you were pulling my leg a bit, and who can blame you, as there are some better names to be found in that book, like:
Biddy's Wisdom / Joe's Loving Forge
Estella's Almost Lost Dreams / Abel Magwitch's File
No Shadow of Parting/ Pale Young Herbert "Fighting" Pocket

I can see why that came to mind. I had to refresh myself on the movie, which I think I saw, or at least some songs from it. I don't think I noticed before that the headstock was a skull.



Hey I inverted the guitar colors for a better match!
