HELP! My Baby Taylor just got crushed! I want to buy a CA Cargo asap!!!
I'm feeling a bit crushed too!
I also posted this under a thread about the Cargo: http://www.acousticguitarforum.com/f...20#post1422120 (post #22) I'm presently visiting Sarasota, Florida from Canada. We rented a Chrysler Sebring convertible -- one where the trunk lid opens and the top goes down into the trunk. You cannot place anything in the trunk space where the top folds into. Last evening, while moving luggage around in the trunk, my wife placed my Baby Taylor in that 'no luggage' space and didn't put it back before I put the top down. Well, the guitar got crushed. Now, since I'm interested in a CA Cargo anyhow, I prefer not to buy a Baby Taylor to replace it. It'll be cheaper if I buy a Cargo before I leave the States on March 29. As of tomorrow evening (Sat., Mar. 22) I'll have an address to ship to until the morning of the 29th. If anyone can help me get to someone who can help me out, I'd really appreciate it. I'll visit here as I can, but it's best to email me at [email protected]. Many thanks, guys! Tom

I'd say contact CA direct and tell them you are part of the AGF since they are sponsors. I'm sure they know everyone who has one in stock.

----- Hi, My name is Tom Guertin. I'm following-up be email to my call of today to Composite Acoustics. I spoke with Stephanie. I'm also a member of the Acoustic Guitar web forum and have been following with interest, the release of the Cargo parlor. Here's my situation... I'm presently visiting Sarasota, Florida from Canada. I rented a convertible and the trunk is of a type that accidently crushed my misplaced Baby Taylor. I am anxious to keep playing while in the States. I prefer not to buy a Baby Taylor to replace it. It'll be cheaper if I buy a Cargo before I leave the States on March 29. As of tomorrow evening (Sat., Mar. 22) I'll have an address to ship to until the morning of the 29th. If anyone at CA can help me find a dealer who can help me out, I'd really appreciate it. It's best to email me at [email protected]. I hope to hear from someone asap. Many thanks!

hopefully you can get a hold of a CA cargo before going back. I have heard a sound clip and it is unreal. I have owned a baby Taylor before and will NEVER own one again. Toyish tone and some of the worst intonation I have ever seen or heard and stays in tune like crap.
The CA gargo will be like the difference of a Caddy and a K car to the Baby Taylor.

I was just in Sarasota this morning. The guitar market there is nonexistent, at least as far as I can tell. I am interested in the Cargo as well (had a COT a few years back, incredible guitar) but am frustrated to see that there are a total of 3 CA dealers in the entire state of Florida, and all way south. I am almost to the point of calling them and submitting a resume to help them grow their dealer base in the southeast! They make a phenomenal product and it shouldn't be such a secret.

Congratulations Tom.
I'm surprised you could get one so quickly when I'm hearing delivery dates of "Late April/May" from other CA shops. Very cool. Of course I've no idea what they play like, but for some reason this Cargo guitar has gotten me pretty interested. I think I'll give Acoustic Pro Musician a call as well. Has anyone seen one in the San Diego area? (Just a prototype would be great to check out) Good luck, and enjoy the new Guitar. Mick
