I would highly recommend that you use your real name, after all that is what you want others to remember. Nothing will better associate "you" to the work.


I would have liked to use my real name on my guitars, but 99% of the non-French speaking world can't pronounce it based on the spelling and some of the more creative pronunciations that come up sound awful, at least to me.

I hear you, Jay!
On the opposite side, "Smith" is just plain boring.
People always ask about my middle name: "z as in zebra?"
My response is "why the heck would my mom name me zebra?
Since I give away the guitars I make, I think the recipient's name or initial is a great idea.
