Three guitars, no names, no genders. I used to name my cars but got out of the habit after Eikoku-Jin (my 1984 Honda Accord that was stoic like an Englishwoman yet of definite Japanese origin (hence Eikoku-Jin, Japanese for Englishwoman).
I think I might have named the '95 Civic, but promptly forgot what, and never bothered with the 2003 Matrix.
My guitars have never really expressed enough "personality" to warrant gender or name. If I were going to name them, the Yamaha would be "Scout" because it is small, nimble, and willing to go camping. The Rick would probably just be "Rick" and the Fender 12 would need a name consistent with what it did for me, which was unlock the vault of music I had inside all along but was unaware previous to the Fender's arrival.
