Review Of CA Guitars Cargo Travel Guitar
CA Guitars (Composite Acoustics) has produced the world's stylish trip guitar-featherlight, durable, small, great sound. The Cargo seems to weigh nothing; indeed, when I first entered it in its packaged box, I wondered whether CA Guitars had forgotten to include the guitar-the box felt empty it was so light. Also, the continuity of carbon fiber guitars is just the thing demanded for a trip instrument, and, the Cargo is small enough to fit into an overhead cube on a aeroplane. Cargo
OK, so you could take this with you on a backpacking trip and slightly notice the redundant baggage, but what about the sound? That is the stylish part-the Cargo sounds great. The first thing that I noticed was the amazing bass response. It's hard to believe that a guitar that is so small that I hold it the same way I hold a mandolin would produce such a deep, mellow and loud bass. Themid-tones come through just fine, and the high E string has a crystalline, bell-suchlike quality to it. Features include an offset soundhole, ergonomic design, Gotoh 381 tuners, and a gig bag.
A couple of pointers-either cross your left leg over your right and cradle the guitar as you would a mandolin, or use a swatch because the Cargo guitar's body is simply too small to hold it the way you would a regular aural guitar. Also, the narrow fret distance takes a little time to get used to, and you will like find yourself overrunning at first, but you will get used to it fairly snappily.
