RE: In search of a NEW effect --- was: Fill my rack!

Lyle quit using the guitar with the kaos pad built in because the
electronics were finicky. He also has been out of Beck's band for a couple
of years and recently joined Sting's new quartet, at least he is commited 
to
doing a show in July...Live Aid at Wimbley Stadium.. he said he got the gig
because he happened to run in to Josh Friese, Sting's latest drummer, who
he's done sessions with, in Guitar Center, Man I gotta hang out in Guitar
Center more often. Ha! Ha!  But seriously, Lyle is the kind of guy who 
would
show up at a Sting rehearsal knowing his whole catelogue, a great guitarist
who's talents were under-utilized in his stints with Frank Black and Beck,
in my humble opinion, and that is not taking anything away from either of
those guys.

I think one of David Torn's Koll guitars is like that.
I'm not sure of the details, so I won't attempt
anything more than a vague description, but if I
remember correctly it's got a patina-ed copper
pickguard which acts as a a tactile interface to
control a circuit (a modded zvex, perhaps?) that's
either thereminish or KAOSesque.
