Default specs for Composite Acoustics Cargo travel guitar?

Does anyone know the specs for this guitar...typical stuff like nut width, lower bout width and depth, scale length, body length, etc? Ditto for Composite Acoustics Ox. Thanks.

What I know from memory is scale length of 22.75" and nut width of 1.75". Cargo sounds better than such a small guitar should, kinda like a small Martin flavor compared to the Emerald X7. OX is the same nut width with 25.5" scale length.

Check your PM's. I can email a quick write-up and a CA catalog from several years ago.

I’ve owned an ‘08 (pre-Peavey) Cargo (charcoal, road tough finish) since new. It was my first composite guitar. I’ve been through a number of composites since and the Cargo is the only one that has stuck with me and always will. Earl’s exactly right, the Cargo sounds better than a small guitar should and it’s much more than a travel guitar, though it’s certainly great in that role. I love the little bugger.

Thanks StevieMar for this information and for finding your spec sheet. This will be enough. Thanks.
