Default Question on CA Cargo

I've heard that older Cargo models had 1 11/16" nut width. Is this true?

I'm 81.586% sure that this is not correct, and that all Cargo guitars are at 1-3/4" for the overall nut width.

There WERE CA Guitars that had a 1 11/16" nut width, but that was well BEFORE the Cargo was introduced, so the Cargo did not have a 1 11/16" nut.

I have my cargo you can try if you like. I can bring it to the Seattle AGF get together next Saturday. Can you make it? It will be a lot of fun. Let me know if you want to try the Cargo...great little guitar.

Just received my Cargo yesterday. It's 1 3/4", as you probably guessed since it's a new one. The neck feels just like my Taylor.

(What an amazing instrument.)

Hi Matt. Unfortunately, I won't be attending; Saturdays are the busiest days for me. I appreciate the offer, and would love to try one sometime.

Thanks to all for your replies.

Cargos have always had 1 3/4" nuts. I played a prototype that our CA rep. brought us in December of "07. I said, "I have gota have one of these" and I ordered one. All of them since have had 1 3/4" nuts.....
