CA Cargo Passed with Flying Colors
I just finished playing a production of "Ragtime" that had a Banjo/Mandolin/Acoustic Guitar book. Space on stage was going to be tight so I opted for the Cargo. I was very happy with it and it got good reviews from the director. I appreciated the small size but also the short scale and cut-away made it comfortable to play for so long. The pickup was very balanced and the volume control was easily accessible in the offset sound hole. It responded well to both the pick and fingers. One thing that I wasn't expecting was that there were some serious temperature fluctuations on stage due to lighting, etc. The carbon fiber kept the tuning much more stable than on my banjo or solid-wood mandolin. I'll definitely be playing this guitar in my next show!

Cool! The Cargo is a great guitar. I still love my ‘08 RT model that I bought new back then. It’s much more than a couch or travel guitar.

They say a banjo player spends half the time tuning and the other half playing outa tune...
Anyway, I will keep my Cargo till a day and a half after forever and a day...or something like that.

If this is a "I love my Cargo too" party, I'd like to join in. Gets played more than my other fine git boxes.
