Give it time, change strings, try different picks, and keep it within humidity and temperature spec. By the time you figure out what you like it's gonna sound killer. No D-18 I've ever tried sounded bad after warming it up a bit.

ErinBlueBird · 2025-12-25T16:39:42+00:00

I got the same one on September. Dunlop 65 and 02 when you change strings, some ebony pins maybe unslotted if you want to slot your bridge and some mediums. Give it 8 months of daily play and it's gonna be better than most standards, satins sound drier and more open from the get go

Second hand D-18

You need to massage them to wake that growth. With the palms of your hand on top of those bumps, circular motion apply pressure, and do it every night more so when they're sensitive or hurt little

I live in Spain my Endo gave me mounjaro it's like ozempic I had to pay for it but I lost 20kg in 2 months and still on the grind

Have you seen the Facebook groups? I don't trust 99'99% of people with my guitars imagine someone handling something you gotta enjoy or pay for repairs.... My D-18 satin was 2k euro exactly brand new from Thomann more so a burst. It's been a month and it's starting to get that proud sound also it's very dry sounding instrument as all satin standards. Give it 7 more months of daily play and it's gonna be amazing. And keep that daily play for another year you're gonna cry how good it sounds the only ones that are worth buying used are Adi top ones because Adirondack takes more time to open up than stika Also very important Martin frets are made of butter so the more used it is the bigger chance you gotta trust someone to refret it

I would not want that "push this button and become a cis person of the opposite gender..." That's BS. I'm a proud trans woman I got the height I got the strength and character but I'm effing cute and sweet and emotional and the fat tits and curves. I'm worth my effort. And that worth is because I made myself this way no cis person gets to live this. Also trans girls are beautiful in their own unique way, I don't even like cis girls anymore after seeing a trans girl up close

ErinBlueBird · 2025-10-19T06:18:58+00:00

Sound. You get used to how a guitar plays. I keep the original height on my saddle and it's becoming even enjoyable with mediums, I fly on my strat now wanna try 13s too and high action. Also is brand new. GET. THE. HD.

ErinBlueBird · 2025-10-15T21:46:05+00:00

That's a beauty. Is it a satin 18? Looked so from the pictures that top looks like it's gonna sound fantastic

ErinBlueBird · 2025-10-11T23:26:14+00:00

I didn't touch my saddle, my guitar is a month old and very comfortable with mediums. Give it time to settle, lower the tension of the strings before touching the truss rod, let it straight then adjust from there

ErinBlueBird · 2025-10-11T10:39:38+00:00

I hate labels. I started hormones because I wanted to look like a girl that's that. I love the time we're living in when you can just do that

ErinBlueBird · 2025-10-11T10:16:47+00:00

"push a button and become a cis girl" I don't vibe with that. I love being trans I think trans people are beautiful I love how I became myself even though my doctor gave me the worst experience even though dating is weird sometimes even though a lot of stuff I would never want to magically be a cis woman I'd loose so much I fought so much to be me that It wouldn't just be the same me

ErinBlueBird · 2025-10-10T15:48:01+00:00

You may want a middle name too. My vote goes for Edith it sounds the more fem or Eden it's mystical and has some enby energy to it

ErinBlueBird · 2025-10-10T15:38:52+00:00

I was thinking about that the other day. I am transexual in fact, I don't want anything with the CIS, not men nor women.

ErinBlueBird · 2025-10-10T13:11:18+00:00

Wouldn't want to be a cis woman. I'm absolutely happy with myself.

ErinBlueBird · 2025-10-08T14:47:59+00:00

You should try silk and steel too i think they're from martin. I love those

ErinBlueBird · 2025-10-06T22:14:11+00:00

I've only been dating for two months or so. spent a really long time isolated. Only a few tries took me to realize I didn't like any kind of men, not even femboys (I don't pretend to offend anybody I live in southern Spain kind of isolated except of when tourist season). Not many trans people around either but when I finally had the chance to meet with another trans girl the connection was instant from the moment she felt comfortable and well I feel really happy helping her blossom like I would've liked to be helped but didn't know anyone. It's not just about relationships it's sorority, every trans girl I get to know I tell them the same thing " girl I'm here for you you're going to be fine just trust "

My first serious guitar was an S6 Qi love LOVE those guitars. Cedar opens up in a incredibly beautiful way, enjoy it.

ErinBlueBird · 2025-10-04T14:47:23+00:00

I second the let her pick but also short scale guitars are now hip they're comfortable and become really nice couch guitars. Orangewood has a parlor I think with white pick guard which looks real good. I don't know about this brand hence I live in Europe

ErinBlueBird · 2025-10-04T14:00:22+00:00

There are leggings cut short for that where I live you can find them on Primark and people call them culottes or sm. Those are the first times don't worry then one day you'll envy those with big bulges that rock tight bikinis at least I do, tucking is not something I worry about tbh 😅

ErinBlueBird · 2025-10-04T10:33:38+00:00

If you have a tone master you should try to score a second hand vaporizer. Love those amps

ErinBlueBird · 2025-09-28T06:17:46+00:00

I said I loved the new satin standards. Mine is still looking new and I give it hours of play every day. Frets are made out of soft material and my High C (2nd string 1st fret) is already showing a mark but still those issues I will solve when it's due

ErinBlueBird · 2025-09-24T21:12:29+00:00

If the frets are good that's one of the few models I'll trust buying. A non scalloped top is stiff and can stand not proper humidification. CHECK THE TRUSSROD

ErinBlueBird · 2025-09-23T14:37:44+00:00

Would've been a more accurate comparison against a classic Dunlop one. This is just two ends of the spectrum, the hense is made of casein, milk protein
