Hi Jabes, Thanks bud!

Yep I saw that definition a couple months ago and thought I could work around the bad connotation.... but Wayfinder made a valid observation. From a marketing standpoint, I think the negative connotation might be too powerful to overcome. Fortunately, the name isn't incorporated or trademarked... I can just change it!

I was looking for slang terms or phrases from the 1920s, 30s, 40s.... Having trouble coming up with a name that a guitar consumer would say, "Yeah man I gotta have one of those ___?______ guitars!"

I'll keep working on it . I truly appreciate the feedback I get from this group!

good excuse to watch some 3 stooges or some abbot and costello... sure to get some good material there...  dont forget to check if the name is being used in case of trademark or copyright problems..

Way is right as to the meaning but I still like it!

How did you make it?

howdy, Kigar

I designed the logo in Adobe Illustrator using a nice font for the "eisenheimer" part and then working with lines for the W so that it had a boxey shape and had characteristics of the font style. Then I printed out a sheet of logos on a piece of paper that came with this really difficult to use transfer system called Grafix Rub Onz transfer film. Almost went postal last night trying to get a logo laid down on the headstock! I'm not sure if I'd recommend using the Grafix product to any of my CBG friends just yet. I may just have to go through a learning curve to work with the stuff more efficiently. Verdict's still out.

I'll be trying some wet decals next.. "water slide decals" once I get the brand name resolved.

I like it but I'm European and used to seeing German decals.

How will it go down in America (I guess your from the USA) to see a German sounding make?

I got a theory that brands with only two syllables sell better. Think Gib/son,Fen/
der. I also happen to think that if your surname has more than one syllable then your first name should too. If your surnamae has one syllable than your first name can have one or more syllables. Dont know why I think this way. I just do.
