Masculine?

I got an email from a local guy who is selling a Rick asking why I was even interested in Rickenbackers because they are considered very 'masculine' guitars.... I've never really thought of them that way.
Thoughts?

Interesting considering that the word guitar comes to English from the Spanish la guitarra definitely feminine.

The dude sounds ridiculous. Guitars are totally feminine, right down to the shape! And if anything, I've always thought Ricks were more feminine than run of the mill brands. I've often heard the comment that "girls like Ricks for the smaller necks" (I guess they're referring to mainly vintage ones).
Chicks With
Ricks!!!

Meh.......ya never know where someone gets their ideas from ..... maybe when he thinks of Ricks , he's picturing Lemmy or Macca.... whatever .... just show him

Maybe you should forward him some YouTube videos of Clatter, The Bangles, etc...

That's pretty insulting. Makes me wish I could swear on the forum.

Oh you can! Watch: frack **** **** ***
But seriously, that connotation has never even remotely crossed my mind. What did you even say to him to provoke that response?

Just tell him you are deceptively butch.
My guitars have no gender or names. Their personalities depend entirely on the song I am playing.
