New to me 2003/4 Godin Kingpin I cleaned it up a bit and put new strings on. Really happy with it.

It probably needs a professional setup, as the action is a bit high, but I was able to set the intonation by nudging the floating bridge.

Off-Topic Friday
  • Greetings, I do a little IT support for an elderly neighbor (mostly fighting with her printer for her) and she recently fell for one of those fake Microsoft scams, and gave a scammer access to her laptop and hundreds of dollars worth of Nordstrom gift cards..

    She's given me the laptop as she's afraid to open it. I'm thinking of formatting the HDs and reinstalling windows, she only uses the laptop for Internet browsing and email, so she's not worried about losing data.

    Would this be enough to undo whatever the scammer would have done on the laptop?

    Any considerations or advice would be appreciated. Apologies if this isn't an appropriate question for this forum.

  • Should You “Put Your Life In Order” Before Criticizing the World?
  • Peterson fat shaming that sports illustrated model and acting all moralistic about it is pretty fucking regressive, or does that not count somehow?

    What irritates me most isn't the fat shaming, although that's gross on its own, it's when he'll use it as a scapegoat for the downfall of our society. It's not the greedy corporations paying bullshit wages, it's bigger women being allowed to model, thats the root of all our problems..

  • Study reveals "widespread, bipartisan aversion" to neighbors owning AR-15 rifles
  • These are all differences without distinction, both of these rifles are capable of the same amount of harm.

    Magazine capacity is the same, the Ruger just doesn't have it's magazine in the picture. Higher cap mags can be found for either rifle.

    Pistol grip and color might make a difference in a video game, but no so much in reality.

    Trigger pull difference is negligible, and could be lighter on either of the two rifles. There is no such thing as default trigger pull..

  • Really cool instrument, and its awesome that you've made it exactly your own.

    Out of curiosity, was the strat new or used when you bought it with all those fret and nut issues?

  • [Video] Five Watt World - The Guitars of George Harrison
  • Cool video, love those old guitars!

    I never knew there was an embargo (or whatever you'd call it) on American musical instruments in Britain after the war.

    Interesting tidbit that the band may have intended to buy ES-175s instead of the J 160Es they ordered in '62.

    The ES 175 seem like a much better fit for them than the acoustic electric J160s

  • Im really liking GuitarGeek def agree he has a way about him that's instantly likeable.

    Pedal show is fun too, I was drooling over the pedalboard from one of their last videos, 'alder-and-ash-pedalboards' freaking gorgeous!

  • Share your favorite online guitar resources! YouTube channels, websites etc.

    So many of my bookmarked guitar resource websites are now dead, RIP stringery and Vanderbilly. Here are my go to YouTube channels and websites for guitar content. Share your favorites!

    Justin Guitar Maybe the biggest/best guitar instruction to be found online. I linked to his YouTube channel, but he also has a website with free and paid lessons.

    EricHaugenGuitar I really enjoy Eric Haugen's videos, and I've purchased a few of his tabbed out compositions from his website. He has great reviews too, just an authentic positive person, who I enjoy learning from.

    PhillipMcKnight The best guitar gear channel I've found. Has a ton of great videos showing how to do simple guitar repairs, reviewing gear etc. Warning Watching potentially dangerous for your wallet

    GuitarSite clunky name, great resource for gear research
