Michael Lydon, we do not sell guitars but offer guitar reviews. We do however offer some links when applicable as to where to purchase said guitar. As for this particular guitar, the manufactuer closed the doors and they are becoming hard to come by. Occasiaonly we spot one on eBay and post it here but otherwise I have not seen them around lately.

Sold my Martins. So CA’s are not quite the same as woodys but with a Zoom AU acoustic pedal for $99 they sound amazing. I like the High Gloss ones. No more worries about playing in extreme conditions. These are the most comfortable guitars I have played. And trust me I’ve been through a few. Sad such a good company closed shop.

Too bad Composite Acoustics closed down. I’d have really like to get one of these.

Hey gang, I’ve owned a cargo for over a year now…best money I ever spent…I take it campeing with me ,it sits out in the sun & humidity in the summer no worries…I just got back from Jamaica (Of caurce I drought it….) no problem s on the plane and I got to play my guitar on the beach every day It was great…all who tried it were ammased at the playability and sound. I rarely play my Larrivee anymore as the cargo just sits around the house ready to grab & play…Perfect size for just sitting on the couch & jamming. I plan on buying a gx model in the very near future as I do find that the cargo kinda gets drowned out when you’re playing with others..
2 thumbs up fromm this Canadian…

A friend introduced me to CA and the little Cargo and I’m glad he did. I find myself on the road several time a year and I prefer not to check my luggage which until recently meant that if I want to take a guitar with me it would be my trusty Baby Taylor. Heard about the CA Cargo but the price tag kept me away. Seems dealers are aware of the popularity so they seldom go below MAP. Well after doing some serious price shopping I came across one of CA’s premier dealers, LA Guitar Sales who not only had every version in stock, but gave me a price that I couldn’t resist. My new Cargo not only travels with me on business trips, but it sits next to my barbeque while I’m cooking, comes with me on weekend boating trips, and is a permanent part of my camping equipment. Thank you CA for a great little guitar, and thank you LA Guitar Sales for making it affordable!

I own a Raw finish Cargo for several months. It sounds fantastic and is so much fun to play not to mention, maintenance free. I take it everywhere and play it every day. Everyone that hears it or plays it can’t believe the sound and bass coming out of such small body. The set up is perfect and never changes. Got it on a 30 day trail from MacNichol Guitars but after only 5 minutes of playing I knew it was a keeper.

If you have an opportunity to play one, go for it. But bring your checkbook.

I just sold my Martin 000-28EC Eric Clapton because I stopped playing it and stopped worrying about it. Composite Acoustics guitars are great. My next one will probably be their OM size Xi model.
