Man, that thing should be back in the maestros hands.

Yeah for sure....I was thinking the same thing.

He didn't seem very upset that it was gone.
It was more like "yeah it's a guitar, whatever"...
Hopefully it gets played.
Only thing I wish for is if the owner would lend it to North American players to record a "Selmer 504" album like the 607 project.

That was certainly Django's attitude to guitars.

I once picked up Nousche Rosenberg at the Montreal airport. He had a really bad gig bag with him. When I opened the trunk , he just threw the guitar in as if it were a piece of junk. I asked him what was inside, he said, it was his Maccaferri. I thought he was joking until I opened the gig bag!

@dennis I have a similar story. I was watching the Rosenbergs do a soundcheck and Nous’che was smoking a cigarette on stage. Since there was no ash tray, he politely just ashed into the soundhole of his Maccaferri!

Actually laughed out loud at the anecdotes. The great thing about their attitude is that they aren't unduly stressed about always having to look after the instrument which perhaps might limit their playing.
