You could just put it inside a bigger Composite Acoustics guitar. That would be tougher than any hardshell case.

I heard Chuck Norris plays a Cargo because it's the only guitar tough enough that he doesn't snap the neck just tuning up the high E string...

I use this case for my Baby Taylor and Alvarez MSD-1 (their baby version)
SKB-300. I'm not sure of the Cargo's dimensions, but it might be close. I'm hoping to get a Cargo myself real soon.

Or else, you could modify a dreadnaught or jumbo case (punch out the pick storage box) and lay the Cargo (in its gigbag) inside of the larger hardshell case. Not sure if it'd work though.

Have you heard of the Clam by CaseXtreme? Looks like you can lay the whole gig bag in there too and "float it". Kinda spendy though.

Just some suggestions.

I also need a special hard shell case for the Cargo - I got my Cargo so I would have a guitar to take with me on my motorcycle trips - not only do I suffer from GAS but also MBS (Multi Bike Syndrome - fortunately down to only 3 now)

I have Givi monokey top cases that snap on and lock to the bike - I'm looking for a way to use the same monokey mounting system to a hard shell case for the Cargo - I have been carrying the Cargo in its Access case on my back, but then I have to leave the wife home - which is fine with her on many of my trips - still, would be nice to have the Cargo case as just another piece of lock on luggage.

Suggestions are welcomed!

Thanks
