new cargo in the house

[IMG][/IMG] for some reason im fine in photobucket but rotated here. oh well. just got this yesterday and at first wasn't the most impressed[specially since its not much bigger than a guitar hero guitar] but the guitar is amazing. the sound is great and so is the bass. plays like butter and stays in tune everywhere on the fret board. really takes to strumming and flatpicking. sounds great and more of a balanced sound than my martin. the sound is very balanced and the quality of the build is flawless. the tuners are smooth as silk. too

Congrats brother emmonsh! What is the nut size and string spacing at the bridge on this model?

[emmonsh]

the nut is 1 3/4 and bridge spacing is 2 1/4. very comfy for fingerstlye that i play[but not a big fingerstyle player].

its the new travel guitar by ca. these came out in june i believe and there is about a 3 to 4 month wait right now. made of carbon fibers and not affected by the weather at all. can be kept in a 110 degree car for all day and still come out in perfect tune. somehow these babies stay in tune fantastic. i got lucky called samash to see how long of a wait and she was surprised they just did inventory and had a non electric in stock. not no more. they sound fantastic and play super easy. almost non destructible.i will agree they dont sound like my martin[woody tone] buit i think it sounds great. not tinny at all.

Welcome to the CA sub-society. I've had one of these for about a month now and it is the only guitar in the house that everybody plays. Nobody is worried about bumping it into something -- my wife has it out on the porch swing right now and she hasn't played guitar for almost 25 years but she likes this one. Lots of fun and you're right, the sound is most amazing. I put a Pearse Armrest on mine, since the top is ULTRA sensitive to pressure from a forearm. That has made it really a little tone Mighty Mouse.

Here's my daughter playing it; the armrest works great.

I really like my COT so I imagine the Cargo is just as awesome. I need to try one out.....either way, congrats!

The 1 3/4" nut is just the ticket too!

[emmonsh]

hey bill does the arm rest make a big diff? also how are they attached. i might look into 1. thanks

I've had mine for about three months and love it. Can't believe the sounds that come out of something that small. A GREAT travel guitar!
