Rather than saying "guitar," we should say "ax."  And rather than saying "guitars," we should say "axen."
 
as in "Careful with that guitar, Eugene"?

Or have you been watching Gene Simmons tonight? just aksing..
 
You can stick an ax up Gene Simmons's overly gay posterior; "axe" as in the idiomatic for guitar dates back to at least the 50's, but I think earlier, although I can't quickly find a good etymological reference
