Default Where to buy a CA Cargo?

I am going to buy a CA Cargo guitar, the question is what shop/site would you recommend ordering it from? I haven't been able to find one in the Cincinnati area. Thanks

I also wholeheartedly recommend talking to Ted at LA Guitar Sales http://www.laguitarsales.com/ and getting a price from him as well before you commit to your purchase. I took delivery yesterday of a Raw Cargo in person. Ted couldn't have been nicer, and made me an offer I couldn't refuse that exceeded my expectations. Very cool, well-equipped store.


Oh my, I have a new Cargo!!! Pinch me! Wait, don't! If it's a dream, I don't wanna wake up!

Just bought a Legacy from LA Guitar Sales. It seemed like good pricing to me as well. Nice thing about CA's you don't have to worry about damage during shipping. Mine came in the dead of winter, you can pop the case right open.

Visited LA sales a few weeks ago Ted seems like a real nice guy prices looked good to. Good selection.

You can't go wrong with any of the guys already mentioned. To add another good guy, Danny at acousticmusician.com. I bought my Cargo from Danny and my GXi from Mike at MacNichol. From his particiaption at the AGF, Ted at LAGuitars seems like an upstanding guy too. Good luck in your purchase experience. The Cargo is a great guitar for its purpose.

The Podium in Minneapolis sells Composite Acoustics, and they ship.

Sounds like some good suggestions already. Will add Fine Acoustics in Westminster, Md. as well. Great shop and Ed Smith is the kind a guy you want to buy from.

This Tarpman on the AGF here. I bought a Voyage Air guitar from him recently -- all went very smoothly.

Regards, Glenn
