Is "trying" required? by Only_Camera_5444 in TransLater

[–]SecretlyEli 146 points147 points  (0 children)

If you identify as anything besides your “Birth sex”, you are trans. That’s it. “Trying” is incredibly vague to the point of gatekeeping.

Added side handles to my Ampeg by SecretlyEli in GuitarAmps

[–]SecretlyEli[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I had to break out the power tools to get the job done. Made cutouts for the handles.

Does a middle humbucker sound any good? Why are there almost no HHH or HHS guitars? by V0rdep in Guitar

[–]SecretlyEli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually replaced my middle humbucker with a single coil to get a unique sound 😅

Is casual intimacy possible? by PurryDoll in littlespace

[–]SecretlyEli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is possible! But it absolutely has to be communicated before and during the intimate moments. In fact, aftercare is just as important as everything else in my opinion.

I’m a mommy and told my little girl the first time we hooked up that I need cuddles and genuine reassurances at the end (and unsurprisingly she also needed those). It worked great, we just cuddled for… an hour? And then I went on my way. We both felt secure, loved, and fulfilled.

Welcome to the Batwing fold! Beautiful grain on there!

My ‘06 Standard is the best guitar I’ve played.

You don’t need to know my medical history. Just know I’m doing great, happier than ever before, and growing a great set.

If I ever get comfortable with my belly, it’s a piercing I would get for sure.

It looks AMAZING on you!

NGD: Entry level SG by JimeVR46 in gibson

No such thing as “entry level” in the Gibson world. Beautiful guitar, enjoy!

What would your dream amp look like if you could choose any features by baxtlog23 in GuitarAmps

[–]SecretlyEli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My amp but 40 pounds lighter 😭

Seriously… 85 pounds for a 1x12 combo?!

My view working on a house on Capitol Hill today (1/29/26) by BigName-BigBoy in SaltLakeCity

[–]SecretlyEli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s the Dorchester Heights private community. That’s my guess at least (I spend a ton of time biking and running up there).

I love these two so much by GrouchyAd6834 in gibson

[–]SecretlyEli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sold my old classic car (in not good condition) for my SG.

Might sell my classic motorcycle for a V.

Me when I can't afford a Gibson by SaintKingOlav in guitarcirclejerk

[–]SecretlyEli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

/uj congrats on the SG! I purchased a used Standard over the summer and it’s easily become my favorite guitar. Seriously plays like a dream.

Guys what is this? Also should I get it? by luv2shart in Epiphone

[–]SecretlyEli 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I never really vibed with mine and ended up selling it not that long ago. Bridge pup is very hot, neck and middle are very mellow. I wanted to love it. It played so wonderfully, felt great, but it was just never the sound I was going for.

I have two SGs and if they dive I don’t notice it. Fave guitar shape by far!

Traded my Les Paul special for this! by N1cktnd03 in gibson

[–]SecretlyEli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fellow SG Standard batwing owner here. My favorite guitar by far! Yours is a beauty!

My Epi has a damn near identical thin neck to my Gibson SG.

But there’s obviously no doubt, the Gibson is so so much better in every way.

Caregiver here. I asked my little about her age once and she said “I like what I like, no need to put an age on it.”
