This tune in progress really shows the wonk as it's happening. The tune is one I used to do with a band in Halifax back in the '90s. It never went anywhere, neither the band nor the tune, but I always liked the groove. It's slowed from it's original hyper speed, and a couple of parts are missing. That said, I think you'll get the idea. Apologies for the harsh mix. Hopefully, I'll have a chance to re-do it sooner than later.

- '86 Murfenbacker 6-string
What is a Murfenbacker? It's a custom, luthier-built Rickenbacker 370/6-style guitar, crafted from a birch table leg and top, plus some sides that Welt had up in the truck. Yes, she was made from an old table that lived outside for countless-odd years. The fretboard is cherry with bubinga inlays and the three pickups are single coils from a '60s Beltone guitar. A bone nut (actually made from the leftovers of that night's dinner), hand-tooled brass hardtail tailpiece/bridge, and Gibson Custom tuners complete the set-up. She's currently strung with Pyramid Gold 11-gauge flatwounds and playing beautifully. The guitar was built by Murf Lively of NSCAD/Halifax back in the early 1980s.
