Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | After what seems an eternity, I finally decided on and received my new traval guitar.
CA "Cargo"
22" scale length
Body depth is about 3.5"
Head to toe, just over 35"
It's a Uke slayer! Surpirising big/ rich voice for such a tiny guitar (look below to see next to my 47RI)

Location: Scotland | Tried a couple of the CA cargos at NAMM. Very impressive. The full size CA guitars with that soundhole configuration are killer too. Every CA guitar I've tried has been great, almost as good as an Adamas. |

Location: South of most, North of few | Actually, I sold mine to a guy in Germany just after I got home from the Southern Jam, then ended up buying another one (new, with electronics again) for a killer price. TR will agree, great little guitars with a very BIG sound. |

Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | Though east to west, the frets are a bit closer together, the nut width north to south is wider than the standard Ovation nut, making it a remarkably easy player.

But Whitehead, is your travel Guitar able to do anything else, say... defend you in a shoot out?
Here's the Stealthy Stunner in its common appearance.
And with a few quick mods
The Crossbow isn't far behind... |
