Setting-up a Fender Strat, RIP Brent Hinds, and my guitar collection

I spent the month of August 2025 setting-up my friend's Fender USA Stratocaster, reconnecting with an old friend, mourning the loss of Mastodon guitarist Brent Hinds, learning Blood and Thunder, and taking stock of my guitar collection.
