There are quite a few more like that. Shame they all seem to be of such a poor quality. Like the beer. The stuff brewed in the UK as XXXX was nothing like the XXXX export cans that you could sometimes get.

Beer doesn't travel. Only the license to make it.
I bought a six pack of Fosters when I was living for a time in South Wales (not 'new' south wales) and it was quite good.
Even the so-called quality Stella Artois isn't actually 'imported' and the reason why it tastes wildly different to the tap variety.
Thing with most Aussie beer is that it all comes out of the same vat.
Hilarious the arguments you hear about what brand is better than another.

cheers, Mark.

(edit) I remember seeing those XXXX ads. Could have been when I was in W.A.
The best beer ads were the Holsten Pils with Griff Rhys Jones in the 80's.

The domestic XXXX Gold ads a few years ago with 4 mates on various fishing adventures were hilarious and some of the best.
Agree about imported beer tasting different, particulary in stubbies as it is all made under licence. Suspect some cans may arrive via ship, just need to read fine details on packaging.

Yup, BWS sells both imported and locally brewed Asahi, the local stuff isn't a patch on the imported.

Agreed. Really enjoyed it in Japan, just not the same here.

Somebody should post from more head stocks before this turns into the beer appreciation thread

[Andy40]

Yep, that was the idea, except with different veneers

[blinddrew]

Like that a lot.

Here's mine. It's pretty simple compared to the ones in this thread.

Nothing wrong with simple and elegant especially when it's well executed. I like TZK's--which is simple but also totally unique. I don't think I have seen another like it.

I like McCreed's too. I thought for a long time about how to do something like a badge, but never came up with one I liked.

My original idea for this thread was to generate ideas. Its also generating art, which is great. Still the usefulness of the thread is for folks to get ideas they can execute.

I gave up on doing the water slide decals. I was never happy with how they finish.

This is the only part of finishing that has worked for me. A little clear coat. Sand flat. Decal. Lots and lots of clear coat.

O would not say paltry. There is something different to like in all three. In the first you have great wood grain, and your simple but curved text is sylish without interfering. On the second one that does not have much woodgrain, the dark strips and wood truss rod cover accent it just enough.

What I like about the third one is what you figured out to put in the "bulb." That's often space that looks kind of empty...and attempts to fill it don't always work. My SX bass did it well. So does yours.
