Old Esquires

HAL9000

I know we're not all Chappers fans, but worth watching this for some rather nice old guitars...

I was there until he dropped the D on the '56 Esquire....sigh.

Those LA Diaries are actually enjoyable if you can handle Chappers...who wouldnt like a browse around that shop?

And then like you say he picks up this old Esquire that he raves about and plays Dorje on it...Innappropriate is the polite way of putting it.

I just pretended he wasn't there. A bit like being married.

I managed 1:17 minutes which is longer than usual. I nearly gave up at him struggling with the door key but I decided to cut him some slack for once.

2:38 for me.... can't do any more

Its nothing to do with Chappers, but playing dropped tuning generic modern metal on that Esquire is like wanking on the altar in a church.

Not the done thing.

If he's playing the "wrong" sort of music then I get your issue, but nothing wrong with some dropped D on its own - pretty sure Cinnamon Girl would sound killer on that thing

Why was the door locked? Utter moronic viewing.

Woah there @A_T_W, I think @Samgb explains what I was alluding to...and I certainly agree with you about Cinnamon Girl ;-)

So wanking in church us wrong now? Ffs political correctness gone mad. I use to go out with a good Catholic girl who had done something at least equally as bad

I believe the Catholic Church's Official Position is that only priests are allowed to bodge one out in church.

I once had sex with my girlfriend in a church and I've got to say just the fact of doing it on sanctified ground really added to our enjoyment. The vicar wasn't too pleased though, nor was the congregation.
