Beautiful Guitar needs a name!

Yesterday I purchased my 6th guitar. Yes, my 6th. I am donating one of my older guitars to my sister, who technically owns part of it anyway. I no longer play it because it hurts my left wrist too much, so it has been hanging out at my house for no other purpose than to collect dust on the protective case. :( How sad for Ruby, she really needs someone to play 'her' now and then.

My new guitar is an acoustic, steel-string Guild, and is a beautiful sunburst brown with maple edges and rosewood back and sides. I'm looking for an appropriate name to give it. I've had suggestions from my students today: Caramel Mocha, Smoky, and I came up with Marty, with no real reason behind it. I can hardly put it down. It's a lot of fun to play and it stays in tune, which is a definite plus! :) I'll take some pictures of it sometime soon.
I hope to do some recording with it this year, and make some progress on the worship album I've been longing to record. Hmmmm......perhaps I should give it a Biblical name for inspiration.....
It's a thought, anyway!

For starters, you need to post a picture of this beauty.

And for that matter, if it's smoky colored... and has a piece to it that might resemble the steel from a bridle... you could infact name it "Beauty". Like Black Beauty.

Or... you could name it B. B. Like B. B. King.

But I need a picture for more accurate suggestions!

I will do so asap! :) My camera charger has temporarily gone missing and my camera is slightly kaput at present!
