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....
Ditto on all points

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