    Anything that we gush over, dote on, adore...etc, takes on a feminine identity when it's inanimate. hmmm, I'm sure Freud would've loved this.
    It's not just the affection/desire.

    It's the curves.

    Not sure what that says about the big-haired guys who like pointy guitars.

    Not that there's anything wrong with that.

    this is why i adore this forum...

    I can just see the owner putting it partially in it's soft case, repeatedly...

    The term 'she' comes from the old sailing days. Their ships were their old lady.
    I named my awesome Magnatone M-10A amp, Luke, after my late friend (who sold guitars/amps) turned me on to the seller. $50! http://www.vibroworld.com/magnatone/M10A.html Yes, the logo on the handle lights up!
