Default Just recieved my Cargo...

I just picked up a Cargo after waiting a month for it. It's the Charcoal version with electronics. The reason I'm writing this is because I was pleasantly surprised with the tone of this little thing. I knew it was going to sound full based on the reviews but I didn't expect it to be warmer than some of my other guitars. It sounds like a softer version of my Guild Hog Dread IMO. If I were to close my eyes, I'd think it was a 000 or 00 sized hog guitar. I'm not sure if it's only mine but that's what I think.

Oh, the wait. It took mine 1 month to arrive but I hope yours will come quicker.

There's one at Dan's Guitars on the corner of Beretania and McCully St. I think they only have one left though.

Thanks, but I have to wait awhile since I've got four more guitars coming in between now and the end of the year (probably means I'll have to sell a few)....

Judging by the quality of your stash, I'm sure you can muster up the bread to get this puppy!

This is the ultimate Kailua beach guitar!
