ummm, well:
that recording was *not at all* 'up to' the performance-level of the 
group; 
sad, for me, that said disc is the only living document of the band.....

hmmm, i don't think i ever really bugged him about that! not that 
interested 
in archtops, as ye might imagine.
anyway:
i've commissioned a Teuffel Tesla gtr, w/6-strings & a TransTrem & some 
very 
personalised electronics.
it'll be built in 2 stages:
1) is the basic guitar, w/a coupla my own electronic requirements, &
2) will include a modification to the 'turntable' in the lower bout 
that'll 
allow for expressivity-controls over one-or-more looping devices:
my goal is to play an instrument that actually integrates some disparate 
electronic elements of my 'schtick' (that's yiddish, for 'schtick'), 
etc.....
best,
