Cargo Travel Guitar

[AlanSturgess]

Not so much a travel guitar, more a parlour-sized instrument. Great sound though but you've got to have a deep wallet.

[kazemian2]

its a "travel" guitar because it is made from carbon fiber (Basically unbreakable) for traveling back packers

[seekah1]

yuck, not my kinda thing...i'm still sticking with my dread ftw.

[bean0423]

song at 140?

[PacoLeoneVideo]

ehm..."travel guitar"? is big like every normal guitar

[lilticklez]

@PacoLeoneVideo i think it just stays in tune and is more durable than regular acoustics.. thats my guess

[up2space]

can you plug that thing in?

[up2space]

@up2space i know you can. do it! i want to hear it. sounds great acoustically.

[BlueDogsRock]

Dude..........is that a LEFT handed CA Cargo???? I've been praying for almost a year that they would make one, or is your video backwards somehow?

[ShowmetheBlues]

these are the composite acoustic guitars.

they are made fully of carbon fibre

no truss rods, as they dont bend, and humidity doesnt affect the guitar cause its made of carbon fibre

and the hole at the top of the guitar makes the bass louder, and the sound is directed to your face

[metallicaX100]

leftys own

[sepulchre10]

You can get them with a pickup. $1k is fine for this guitar. No worries about humidity or any of that environmental stuff. It will last, if you don't run over it with a truck. Plus, they don't cut down 300 year old trees to make them. I'm not a snob, I have guitars made from old trees but I think that being environmentally aware is a plus. It sounds great. I'd expect to fork over some bucks for it.

[JimmyChiffels]

I can buy 3 baby taylor acoustic guitar than that....

[erictjie]

iam buying a rider nylon

[tjrich87]

travel guitars r suppose to b affordable, c'mon. $999..

[ricomock2]

It's amde from carbon fiber......that shit's not cheap

[bettaboy]

they're not supposed to be affordable, just compact and able to travel.. but yea, that is a big price though. i myself have a washburn rover. its pretty awesome

[tjrich87]

i have an la patrie motif and it was pretty affordable and 3/4 in size. but 1000 for a travel, is better off spent on an better sounding full body gutiar. plus do u really think u would travel with such n expensive guitar?

[bettaboy]

I personally wouldnt travel with an expensive guitar, but u know, some of these people are loaded and CAN but yes, dont worry, im on the same boat as you too.

[Kaoskadosk]

@tjrich87

Travel guitars are supposed to be, guess what, travel guitars.

An expensive travel guitar sounds good, a cheap travel guitar sounds bad, just like any standard guitar, good sound has it's price.

Also, $999 is fine for a guitar, quality guitars will cost you a good $2000+.

[mmers]

Sounds quite good. Is that a carbon composite body?

Didn't expect a travel guitar to sound this nice.

And does it have in-built pickups? (i.e. can be connected to an amp)

[bugaddi51]

Hi - cool -greetings from germany - winni

[MasonJCM]

hey, spoon!! love the guitar and the playing!

[P4UL17]

hey so what's the name of this guitar? did you say the company's name is ozick? i can't find anything on it. Any help would be great :)

[BpenguinFire]

this might seem like an odd question, but at around :41 what were you playing? i really liked the sound of it. and if it was original, could you give me a list of the chords u used? id really apriciate an answer, i really liked the way u were playing

[showmelight]

How is the volume in this little guitar? Is it comprable to a deadnaught-sized guitar, or less?

[matttwhang]

i have a legacy composite acoustic (dreadnought sized), and it packs a bigger boom than any wood guitar out there, but doesnt have the best sustaining sound. the smaller one here has the initial power of a dreadnought, but dont expect to get those wood guitar ringing notes.

[everysinglenamesgone]

I can't believe how good these sound...!

[compmanio36]

I just ordered one of the travel guitars off Ebay. Looking forward to trying it out.

[cookieguitar]

have you ever played an emerald x5?

[guitarfeline]

How well does the Cargo stay in tune? I have a Baby Taylor that goes out of tune so easily and it's hard to deal with at times.

Thanks!

[wiesiamarek]

Hi Cougarman

So how do you like the Cargo after several months? Is it a nice fingerpicking guitar?

[tybrady]

Any idea how this compares to the "Blackbird" Carbon Fiber Guitar?

I'd like to get the ultimate backpack guitar. I already have a CA bluegrass model and love it.

[hlaakso]

how much does it cost?

[Raxmole]

$999

[iwantpinkeye101]

It Sounds Great for a travel guitar! Is that a lefty?

[MercuryClock]

The video's just reversed. If you look at :34, you can see that the CA logo on the headstock is backwards. And, as someone else said a few comments below, the flag on his shirt is backwards.

[westpodunk]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I'll be buying one very soon and have researching as much as possible, but wanted to hear more than the short clip on CA's website since I will be buying online. The green is much lighter/nice than other photos have let on.

Hi to Santa Cruz (my sis lives there)!

[lemonhead112]

Really cool. Was that a little bit of "The Underdog" by Spoon? Sounded like it. Anyway, it's pretty cool.

[AnchoriteProductions]

Dude, that's really sweet! They even have a lefty, eh? Are they expensive?? Same price as a Baby Taylor?? Case included? Can you get a pickup in it? Thanks for the vid!! -Derek

[ferrarimk13]

thats a pretty big travel guitar, dont ya think? lol i tried out a carbon fiber acoustic, and it was amazing in the low notes, and the bass lines.

[leeasam]

it`s actually the same size as a baby Taylor. I have seen pics of the two side by side

[scoutisyourfriend]

It's 3/4 sized... you can put it in the overhead when you carry it on to a plane, so it's convenient. I wish I had one.

[HolyCanoley]

i like a more woody sound when it comes to acoustics

[xanadu2113]

what? you play left-handed too? now i'm impressed. p.s. cool guitar

[jipleary1]

I think he just reversed the video or recorded it with some mirror image camera thing.

[xanadu2113]

no, i'm pretty sure he's fretting with his right hand

[AGealy]

I'm fairly positive the video was mirrored - The Irish flag on his shirt is backwards

[polishbroadcast]

@jipleary1 I'm guessing it was recorded with a Macbook. Photobooth automatically flips the video so it is a mirror image for when you are chatting with people.

[Quakelord1991]

@jipleary1 Or maybe he's a left handed guitar player?

[SnoopakiGR]

The guitar looks great. It is a bit pricey but it's carbon fiber after all and it must be by far the best sounding travel guitar :)
