Rainsong APSE
 

I recently received my Rainsong APSE.
Upon opening the carton, I was impressed with the 'look'.
Understated but clean.
Playing is a breeze: Very nicely shaped neck, easy to play, even easier to play barre chords.
The tone - it's amazing that it is not wood. Nice lower end with some sparkle to the trebles.

I've owned several CF guitars in the past - Cargo's (4), an Emerald, a Blackbird Lucky 12, a CA OM style and in the distant past a Rainsong dread.
Each had their strong points ans weak points.

This one, by far, is the best.

Just sharing my thoughts....

Congrats on your new APSE. My CO-OM1100NST is a similar animal minus the electronics, and I love it...

Congrats Kupuna- I love that body size and 12 fret neck!

Is that an "NST" or "N2T"? The 12 fret is the S and the 14 fret is the 2. In my opinion it is an important distinction due to pretty notable changes in tone. If you have the CO-OM1100NST, it indeed is exactly the same guitar other than paint and electronics.

Ditto on all points :)

I think the APSE is only available with a 12 fret, short scale neck.

You're absolutely correct - mine is a CO-OM1100NST....

Ah, sweet guitar! You also have sharks and the abalone rosette.
