I like a good RainSong as much as anyone, but for me it would be the wife then the dog...

Well, of course. After living things (wife, cats, myself) are safe THEN comes the guitar of choice. I didn't think it *needed* to be said explicitly.

Thank you for all the replies. This has been helpful to get me started. I'll take a good look at the Emerald X10/X20 and chat with Ted about options, including a 12 fret dread.
Much appreciated! |

To my knowledge CA guitars never offered a short scale guitar other than the travel sized Cargo guitar.
This is a great guitar and checks all of the boxes other than scale length. https://www.acousticguitarforum.com/...d.php?t=539725 I was a previous owner of this guitar and it's a wonderful guitar that's pretty loud & proud. This does have a 1 11/16th nut width if I remember correctly. At any rate a much smaller neck than the somewhat alike Rainsong dread. I owned a rainsong 12 Fret Dread a few years ago that sounded great but neck was much chunkier than the CA. Also the intonation was pretty off on it. Took it to a few good guitar techs and they both came to the same conclusion that the bridge had been put in the wrong place. Was Ok until you hit about the 7th fret and chords just started to sound out of tune. Not saying all Rainsong 12 fret guitars suffered from this as this was the only one I ever played. Emeralds are just super guitars so if you can swing one it's a great way to go for sure!

I'll second Benderman's recommendation--the cargo is a really fine small guitar that projects beyond its size and electrifies nicely.
