Hi from J Obeast, A.K.A. John Beal

[J Obeast]

Hi, I joined the forum to get tips on wiring (for now) and probably other lutherie/assembly subjects. I like to keep my hand in projects building up guitars. I am into single-coil sounds and enjoy learning how to make custom guitars on the cheap, usually using Teisco parts.
I enjoy the process of finishing guitar bodies, experimenting with french polish over 24k gilding and such. I'm happy to share what I've learned doing this.
I play a variety of guitars and prefer vintage sounds. I live in So Cal and am 'mature' like a fine wine...

Hey John,

I like fine wine and guitar enthusiasts with skills to share. Hopefully we can give back with information useful to you.

Welcome to the Forum

Wine? Oh, a typo. I meant 'whine'. Married with chance of showers...
If anyone wants to ask about french polish and use of hand tools to 'build' electric guitars, ask away! Otherwise, I'm full of false assumptions and misunderstood principles...
