Good info, thanks. I like to tell the story of my fire fighter son who use to head up a fund raiser where a local brewery made fire house ale for a short season and a portion of sales went to the fund raising cause. And they also had a sampler of 6 or so un labeled beers that people voted on which they liked best. PBR is kind of low brow to some folks, but PBR won the taste test a couple of years in a row.
Thanks! It is part of a PBR can. I don't have photos, but I made a couple of wooden forms kind of like a mold that sandwich the aluminum, then press or hammer a wood block that forms the aluminum into the shape of a flat pup cover. The beer can metal is a lot thinner though and it ends up wrinkling the edges at the corners, so you have to use some sort of trim ring to hide that. I had cut out a Padron box for a paint can lid resonator and I thought the cut out piece would make a different looking trim ring. The pickup works great. I ended up using some bondo and putting that in the beer can cover, pressing in the pup and slathering on more bondo.
