Maybe that's an idea for new Pitbull kits, will make a post in the new PBG kits ideas thread.
Jarrah is not really a very good tonewood.. I built a few Bass Beasts out of it, I called them the Schwarzenegger Series
However, you can use Jarrah as a cap.
Perry Ormsby built a Guitar with a Birdseye Jarrah cap and it looks and sounds freaking awesome!
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
Geez Woks, were all those labels as a result of all the beers you keep promising inmates at the Naughty Warehouse? Wish I was there to help a mate obviously in need of a hand.
BTW just read in the weekend paper that XXXX Gold is the most popular beer in the country outselling VB and many other staples. Do you need me to send over a carton so that you can get in on the act?
hey Waz, I recycle all the empty bottles in the NW so all good.
I go on an annual trip to Townsville to watch the V8 supercars and catch up with a mate, but I have managed to dodge XXXX gold for about 5 years, I'm not a fan of beers that have less flavour than a water cooler haha
PS I reckon that survey of best beer in the country was only held in Qld !

Funny how most states have at least one totally undrinkable beer....
NSW, Resches Pilsener is the most foul tasting rubbish
QLD, undoubtedly has to be XXXX
VIC, anything brewed by Carlton
WA, Emu Bitter........

thats it DB, yesterday Popeyes bro in law Rozza made Popeye and me drink an emu export (bush chook) and to top it off we were photographed, so give you the big tip that photo won't be making it to social media or this forum !
Its taken about 24 hours to wash the fowl taste out of my mouth !

You could do themed ones wokka: all Aussie beers, all import beers... Better start collecting materials!

Hey DB, you seemed to have forgotten anything brewed by Swan. Probably all gone down the gurgler with the rest of the Bond empire.
Craft beers are great stuff, just a shame we have to pay twice the price. Mind you, there are some shockers lurking in the craft brew sections of most bottles shops too. Pity you can't buy a mixed dozen or carton to try some out. I mostly grab a six pack if uncertain as there would be only 5 more to choke down or throw out if it tastes crap.
