Bought a Red Cargo
DaveG and I played one of these a few weeks ago at American Music in Bellevue, WA. We were pretty impressed by both sound and playability.
They received 7 earlier this week and only had 3 left as of this afternoon, a red, green and a charcoal. I went and played all 3 and ended up buying the red one because, get this, it sounded the best! I would've thought a composite guitar would sound exactly the same from guitar to guitar, but no, each sounded quite different. The red one sounded the most "open" and was definitely the loudest. Maybe the composite material had aged longer than the others? It also had the lowest action. Long story short, I bought the red one. These are as good as everyone says. They don't just sound good for a little/travel guitar, they just sound darn good, period. They had 2 left, both with electronics.

Congratulations. I wondered how long it would be before you ended up with one of those. When I saw the Gwaltney for sale I was suspicious . Now you need to add some pictures.

I realize that. I just knew you were impressed with the Cargo and figured if you sold something it wouldn't be long before you ended up with one .

I missed you guys tonight at the Taylor Road show. I played both the green and the black cargo (the only two left) and I agree, I thought the green sounded different than the grey. Maybe strings, maybe manufacture?
WOW what a deep voice for such a guitar! Wayne Johnson put on a good presentation tonight, and they even had a fall limited GC Koa for sale. I saw at least two cases go out the door. I was drooling over the K26CE (Koa GS). But it was the Cargo that impressed me the most. Congrats on the new cargo! I tried some of the other CA guitars, and the cargo seemed just as loud and well voiced!
