    @ 32 seconds looks like Collings on the headstock... Is that a Schertler run through an endpin jack? It sure sounds good!

    Choro - Here in Argentine slang "choro" means "crook" or "criminal" they use it here always to describe all of the little punks that rob, steal and shoot people. If they are motorcycle thieves they call them "motochoros"

    I think in Mexico and parts of central america the same thing becomes "Cholo"
