Django and his busato?

dontanman

While browsing through the forums today, I found a thread that talked about Django using a Busato for a few recordings. Does anyone know which recordings he used this on. I really love Django through the Selmer, but it would be cool to hear him play some tunes on another one of the "Holy 3" gypsy guitars.
-I'm assuming its a recording from later in his life? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Don't know about the recordings, but here's a photo of it:

Wow what a beautiful guitar! So we can only assume that recordings could of been done from 1950-1953. I sure hope he didn't amplify it-I wanna hear his picking and attack through an acoustic Busato! Thanks.

Perhaps. But keep in mind that dating Busatos is tricky. No serial numbers or dates, sometimes no labels at all, and little else to go on.
