Definitely needs the locking nut. While he's at it, he shoulda scalloped the fretboard, cut out a second cutaway, put in multiple humbuckers with phase and series-parallel switches, installed numerous strong soundposts and filled it with blow-in insulating foam to eliminate feedback - to make sure he eliminated any possible remaining tone from the instrument.
Hey, at least this is clearly not an old instrument. I've seen guys do way worse than this to 50s Strats, Teles, and Les Pauls, and 30s Martins. |

Mad as a hatter, but it DID work.
Looked like their were playing in Montpelier France
in the main square.
I suspect that was one of Django's later guitars,
and he did mount a pickup on it to try out.
One of those sliding pickups on a rod like on an L7 Gibson.
Django was playing some big band gigs towards the end, and
was aware of Charlie Christians work with Goodman.
So for Django this was just his guitar,
and not loud enough...
For us it's a priceless cultural relic.
Ah well.

All those things. Plus, he doesn't give a hoot what we think. He obviously looks like he's having a really good time..
