As the owner of three Cargos (all RT finish, no factory electronics), I consider myself VERY fortunate that with Marty's (at The Podium) setup, all three instruments are perfect for me.
However, I do understand the point that Larry P is making and can see where attending to those issues would make the Cargo a better fit for more players. I don't claim to know anything about building guitars and/or working with carbon fiber, but Larry's posts here definitely explain my own similar experiences with setup on some of the wood instruments I have owned over the years. I never knew about this stuff when I had guitars with similar issues.
By the way, Larry Pattis' Nonpariel is one of the most beautiful solo fingerstyle pieces I have ever heard. That is off-topic, but needed to be said.
Regards,
Tony
