    NOTES:

  • When the original Drifter was stolen in July 1999, it looked like "Eric's Trip" (a song that relied heavily on the Drifter's unique set up) may never be played again. Three years later, however, Sonic Tech Eric Baecht designed a "new Drifter" from a guitar he'd had lying around for years, allowing SY to once again perform Eric's Trip on the Murray Street tour. It appears to be a heavily modified Gibson Sonex, or at least a copy of one.
  • It's tuned identically, but as of Portland 2002 there was some confusion over whether the B's were tuned higher than the F#'s...
