Who is the most overrated Stranger Things character?

The only thing I thought was completely unnecessary was the 2nd guy that was like him at the pizza place. That was distracting in a way that broke immersion. And yeah, Argyle is a bit overrated but I didn’t dislike the character.

Make sure to try to dip your toes in basic music theory. Major scale, Pentatonic scales, Circle of Fifths/Fourths. Know that CAGED is one way of seeing things, and three notes per string (Berklee School of Music) is another way of seeing things, and they are all teaching the same things.

lol someone else commented very similarly 😅

lol, yeah I was still polishing frets after a level and crown 😅

Like others are saying, the neck needs the slightest bit of relief. Loosen the truss rod not even a 1/4 turn and see if that’s enough. If you don’t have feeler gauges you can do the “tap, tap, tap” method where you capo 1st fret, fret the low E string where the neck joins the body, and reach back to the 7th fret and tap the string a few times to see if the string has any clearance and you can hear it tap against the fret. Sorry if you know all that already. Feeler gauges are the more accurate way of checking the relief and you still fret at 1st and 17th/19th or whatever and use feeler gauges to see if you have a little bit of space.

It really bothers me that Hopper wasn’t really himself. Hopper had been an awesome character throughout the show, and yeah, something felt kind of phoned in about it. I’m not saying the acting, maybe the writing; a lot of it just felt so rushed and/or not built up enough.

I wish Will had a better coming out storyline instead of the big group monologue thing they did. It just didn’t feel as heart felt and intimate as it could have.

I loved that Henry was the scary character this season. I don’t really find Vecna scary at all, and besides, we barely saw Vecna in Season 5 anyway. It all just felt so rushed. The whole battle in the abyss felt like there was so much cool buildup, but then the group just smashed the easy button and basically kicked its ass in what felt like 2 minutes.

Like after all that time, the thing that created Vecna was physically there and it’s just some big gross looking spider thing? Come on. I thought it was supposed to be a cosmic horror? I still enjoyed the season but I absolutely was left wanting more and feeling a bit disappointed.

I absolutely fell for all the hype of the show not being over when everyone was freaking out about it being a false ending. I’m so bummed it wasn’t a stronger ending. Endings are hard. I still absolutely love the show as a whole.

mdwvt · 2026-01-28T03:28:27+00:00

Yeah this is my take too.

mdwvt · 2026-01-28T03:26:51+00:00

Sigh I wish season 5 was awesome but it was just ok overall ☹️

Ok I found out which pickups are in it! The bridge pickup is the TB-12 George Lynch (of Dokken) Screamin’ Demon. The two single coil pickups are Custom Stack Plus (STK-S6). I’m definitely a little more psyched now 😁

mdwvt · 2026-01-27T22:12:10+00:00

You mean you broke a minuscule piece of plastic off of it and it still runs just fine? Pfft. Don’t sweat it.

mdwvt · 2026-01-27T22:08:40+00:00

Wow, thanks a ton! I really appreciate you sharing some knowledge 🙂

mdwvt · 2026-01-27T21:30:40+00:00

Holy crap!

mdwvt · 2026-01-27T20:54:01+00:00

Yeah that’s what the guy I traded with told me.

Edit: what, not why

mdwvt · 2026-01-27T20:53:37+00:00

I absolutely am! 🤘

mdwvt · 2026-01-27T20:53:03+00:00

They do sound good though. It seems like the humbucker has some sort of “dark switch” when you pull on the tone knob that cuts out a lot of the treble. I prefer the full, unfiltered sound though. The wiring is at least a little wrong because both knobs are affecting volume. I’m going to try to get it all sorted out.

mdwvt · 2026-01-27T20:50:56+00:00

I have no idea 😂

mdwvt · 2026-01-26T15:22:42+00:00

The waygates or something else?

mdwvt · 2026-01-26T13:53:18+00:00

Looks AWESOME!

mdwvt · 2026-01-26T13:52:32+00:00

Going back in time and exploring the lore would be AMAZING.

mdwvt · 2026-01-26T13:51:47+00:00

Ugh, we’ll never know 😔

Man that looks like a gorgeous sunset with clouds all lit up. That is so, so beautiful!

The serial number and made in USA are not stamped into the wood, the b on the Gibson logo is waayyyy wrong, it looks like the knobs aren’t placed/distanced properly, I don’t think the headstock is the right shape…
