Why is it feminine?
Guitarra is feminine because it derives from Latin "cithara" (a stringed instrument), which was feminine in Latin. Spanish retained the feminine gender through the regular sound evolution of Latin words ending in -a, which typically remain feminine in Spanish. Gender assignment in Romance languages generally follows from the gender of the Latin etymon, though there are exceptions to this pattern.
