The least expensive ones go for around $700.   I bought one last year (a Cargo) to take sailing.

Playing guitar on a sailboat is pretty cool, but I figured it'd be a novelty.    I was wrong.

The Cargo travels with me *everywhere*.   I can leave it in the car without worrying about it.   It fits in the overhead bin on a plane.  Took it to the ski slopes.    Took it to Hawaii.    That was phase II of the "novelty."

But then winter came, and the air got dry.    I... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (gitnoob) http://blueridgeguitar.net/reply/35415 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 21:17:17 PST <![CDATA[ Re: CA out of business? ]]> http://blueridgeguitar.net/reply/35404/t/CA-out-of-business-.html#reply-35404 feeds@kickapps.com (dmcowles) http://blueridgeguitar.net/reply/35404 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:40:17 PST <![CDATA[ Re: CA out of business? ]]> http://blueridgeguitar.net/reply/35403/t/CA-out-of-business-.html#reply-35403 george kraushaar wrote:

Are there any videos of them going back to back with wood guitars? I'd like to see a video of that.

Both graphite and carbon fiber are made up of carbon atoms but in different ways. See below from wikipedia, but it's not always reliable so see further below.

The atomic structure of carbon fiber is similar to that of graphite, consisting of sheets of carbon atoms (graphene sheets) arranged in a regular hexagonal pattern. The difference lies in the way these sheets interlock. Graphite is a crystalline material in which the sheets are stacked parallel to one another in regular fashion. The chemical bonds between the sheets are relatively weak Van der Waals forces, giving graphite its soft and brittle characteristics.
