None of these are somehow wrong, let me try to explain with my limited japanese skills. :D

The guitar's name is written like this in katakana: ギー太

the ギ stands for "gi" and the 太 for "ta". but the ー in the middle is used to stretch the first vowel, so the "gi" is pronounced like "gii". Now there are many who write it like you said it, and theoretically, they are not wrong. I (shame on me) looked at animelyrics dot com in this case without thinking....BECAUSE there is actually a letter to write down a stretched I, the Ī. This is a much smarter way to write it and I will change the articles now depending on it. Thank you for finding this one! :D
