Just acquired one of these in black, and wow, it is a player!

However, my spanish is rusty - what does "La Cabronita" actually mean?

Put "cabron" into the google translator -- you'll be shocked.

"ita" is a feminine suffix within the Spanish language.

Loosely translated...the woman's be-hind.

"Cabrón is a rather strong slang word meaning (pardon our French) “a-hole, butt-head, or basturd.” It is also used to mean “cuckold" (Cuckold historically referred to a man with an adulterous wife.).”

But, that's "cabron", not cabronita. "ita" is a femminine suffix.

So, a "loose" and polite translation would be..."la cabronita" the woman's behind, or the woman is a be-hind, the woman has no father, or her husband is adulterous.

If you say it with a sneer, it's bad.

If you say it with a smile, it's good.

aye, cabronita (nice behind lady, or...the negative...you are a behind lady, ...you have no father lady, ...your husband is screwing around on you lady)!

Yeah, I found several other forums that asked the same question. Answers ranged from "goat" to "butt" to "bastard" and worse. Oh, well. I'll never own one of the guitars so I guess I don't care that much. :lol:

The word is used similarly to how we Americans use the word ...a-double-s. It's all in the voice inflection, body language, and the context in which it is used. However, the core meaning of the word is an insult. The word can be used as a stinging insult, or a loving pinch, depending upon who you're keeping company with...a compliment.

Ironically, I've been gassin' for a tele and did some research on the tele and ended up looking deeply into the Cabronita Tele-bration on Sunday -- I want a redwood bad.

thanks, such an interesting name for a guitar. Given the explanations, I'm guessing it's meant to reflect that most of us guitar player "guys" would rather spend time with this new telecaster, than our actual lady friends. :)
