Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

I do adjust the string heights and I do check the intonation, as far as making sure the 12th fret harmonic is the same note as the fretted nots

Whelp... The transfer has been initiated. It can take up to a week to complete/be verified. I am satisfied with the amount. I think they are also assuming I paid sales tax, but I hadn't yet paid that. So, they can come pick up the car tomorrow.

I don't think I'll be going for a drive in the morning. I got distracted, so I'm still awake and drinking.

But, today is Tuesday! You should have presents arriving in the mail!

Oh, don't check the harmonic or math says it will be off! LOL That's a common myth/habit and it's wrong! Fret the note and test it that way.

By it's very nature, a guitar can not be in perfect tune. That's why multiscale with fanned frets exist. They try to correct the nature of the guitar.

But, yeah... Fret the note to check for intonation. Playing the harmonic will actually result in the wrong length (but we're talking a couple of cents difference).

Only watch this if you're not drinking and prone to weeping like a child:
