While I'm not a drinker of Budweiser beers, my favorite beer is also a mass produced beer and the fact that it tastes "right" every time I have it is the reason I go to it first when I'm in the mood for a beer.



There isn't a mass produced beer I couldn't drink in a pinch... Old Milwaukee, Goebel, Bud, Miller(actually really like them)... etc. etc...
 
You're saying we should give them kudos for being able to accurately reproduce schitty over-carbonated bread soda?o_O

Try brewing it. See if its as easy as you think. Its not.

Damn straight, Haji! Beer snobs... making crappy beer in their basements for better than a decade. :laugh:

No joke, at least a decade ago, got invited to a brewer's party when a half dozen home brewers were tasked with bringing a couple of growlers of their best beer for a tasting contest where we would all anonymously rate the beers. Someone filled their growlers with a national brew, a pilsener if I remember correctly, and it won. After the tally, the trickster confessed and he lost "the title" to the distant second place winner.

It further convinced me that I was correct in not buying the craft brewing hype.

I'd Try a "home" brew, after all it's my favorite-free-but I like some of the micro brews. I'll pay extra for something I like. And most of them will give you a small sample if you have questions about one that looks interesting.:thumbsup::D

For me it ain't about snobbery. I just really don't care for pales, lagers, or pilsners. I don't like the taste, the (what I consider to be) excessive carbonation, or the way they make me feel. If I'm drinking a lighter beer, it's typically Newcastle Brown (more bubbly than I'd like, but good brown beer flavor without the brown beer "weight"). My go-to is Guinness. These aren't particularly inexpensive beers, so I don't get to drink them often, and that's not a bad thing either. When others are sittin' around "havin' a cool one"... I'll usually opt for iced tea & vodka:thumbsup:
 
That would be nice chromed up now.

What did you do, put it under a sun lamp to yellow it?

I love what you've done to it - Especially the yellowing... How exactly did you do that?

Yes, yes! We have to know! Excellent job too! I was fooled and thought that you had snagged a mint vintage Gibson.

I should've paid more attention to the PG and it's Epiphone TBird Emblem.

:D a hint: Reptile owners should have an idea on the subject.

As a native Californian who left San Diego to work in KY and now Nashville TN, I'll take earthquakes all the time. Hurricanes kill people. Earthquakes rarely break stuff. As to when they happen, that's easy: bout every week. After a while you can tell after a moment what magnitude the quake is. A significant one is fairly rare.
See what I mean?
Hurricanes kill people if you stay, after warned. Don't recall a BIG quake in the SD area as of recent...

I would think a short wavelength UV lamp/s, and the guitar exposed to it for long periods of time will get the desired effect.
But i guess a lot also depends on what the finish is. Suppose that would determine which type of light source to use.
