    Something isn't square. Either the top or the base. Measure corner to corner on the top and see if they're the same.

    Yeah, you should be able to twist it back into “close enough” square.

    50.5" one way, a couple hairs over 51" the other way.

    I appreciate the tips, gents.

    Regardless of what you paid for it, it's a Chinese mass-produced construct that was built as inexpensively as possible... it will NOT be square, or robust. Twist it, deform it, shove it around until it's back into roughly square, and then drastically lower your expectations. ;)

    get a rubber mallet. If you don't have one, buy one. This is my favorite. I call it my "persuasion tool." Most products such as that can be persuaded into square/alignment with a few well placed hits.

    How does one call themselves? Sounds like the beginning of dementia.

    I need some help or if someone could point me in the right direction.

    I end up doing some videography for my wife's indo-canadian dance club. Most of the video's are in a theater were they preform. So it is fairly dark except were they are dancing. I am pretty good a taking pictures but doing video has me a little lost. I am using my Canon T2i, i have standard EF-S 18-55 and a EF 50mm 1.8. Doesn't seem to matter which lens i use, when i use the hold down the button for autofucus it works fairly well the shot doesn't seem over exposed but as soon as i let the button off it goes supper over exposed. Below are 2 stills from a video, the left hand one is from when i am holding down the auto focus/picture button, the right hand happens as soon as i let off the button. Can someone tell me how to setup my camera for takings video's in a theater like this, or point me to a good youtube channel.

    edit: also what is your favorite video editing software so i can fix some of these video's.

    Use manual settings. Take it off of automatic.

    And Davinci Resolve.

    So, my ex asked me to help her sell a guitar. It's a pretty Fender Stratocaster in a pristine case. I'll snap some pics of it in a few, but...how do I sell it, what do these things go for, etc.?

    The back story is a client gifted it to her when he gave up trying to learn guitar. It sat in her basement for a decade or so, and is miraculously undisturbed. It seems to be in great shape, all things considered.

    I’m no strat expert but varies widely on what model it is and where and when it was produced. I think most stores bought non specialty shop ones are 800-1200 bucks new.

    Where was it made? When was it made? If you have a pic of the serial number, that info can be easily obtained.

    American strats hold value amazingly well. Brand new ones start at well over $1500. Mexican ones typically start around $800-$1000 these days but don’t hold as much value on the used market.

    The conversation needs to start with the serial number.
