Name the model contest!!!!!!!

[Simon Fay]

You have a strong precedent for what you are doing in the classical world -- classical luthiers just call this model a "student" model. I think that would be the most sensible name for your model because it would be well-understood as a very minimalist form (ornamentally speaking) of your standard guitar.

Given the names of the other guitars in your line up ,I'd suggest
OO-D: STUDENT MODEL as a good fit for your economy guitar .

Based on other words which are similar to 'base' model --

Essence (you are creating an 'essence' or baseline for an affordable hand built guitar)
Foundation
BBM (Brackett Base Model)

[D. Churchland]

The Brackett

"Sonata"

"Fugue"

"Forte"

"Symphony"

Or you could just call it the "Piano" model

[vintageparlors]

Whatever name you choose, make sure you can infuse variables on it in case you decide to change it down the road.....a la
Puff Daddy or,
P. Diddy or,
Puffy D. or,
Piffy Dude or,
just plain Daddy

or even better.........

Forget about a name altogether, just go with a symbol...like that guy with all the Grammy Awards that used to call himself Prince.

[McFingers]

I think you should call it your Sunrise model.

[leray1]

Call it, The Impress

[ncognito1]

I would call it the" Advocate" for a few reasons. An Advocate represents you, and the connotation is "what you stand for". I would hope that in terms of tone and quality of construction, it is what you stand for. Also, I like how the two words sound together: Brackett Advocate, or The Brackett Advocate. It has , in my opinion, a poetic flow.

I play 12 string, and use D'Addario EJ38 strings. I hope this is an alternate prize option.

DAVE

[maverick-tx]

SS-00 (Sound Stage-00)

or

TSS-00 (The Sound Stage-00)

[stratlord]

call it the evolution and use the prefix evo or just plain E

[JohnM]

The Po' Boy

[jalbert]

With all due respect to Rick Turner, you could call it the "Model One". That's also obviously a tilt-of-the-hat to many Spanish luthiers as well.

A Japanese guitar builder, Tokai, used model numbers that reflected their list prices. E.g., the CE300 was their $300 model, and the CE700 was their better more expensive model.

Washburn did this as well in the 1920's. The first couple of digits was the model number, and the last couple of digits was the price.

So you could call yours the 00-18.

These model "names" all have to go. Just change the model number a little. I am telling you anything that insinuates or implies anything standing for economy is just bad marketing. You want to make it be like one of the regular class of guitars you build not some cheaper version. There is a reason Taylor and Martin don't do that... neither does Mercedes or BMW.
