Followup. So the considerably chunkier neck on the NR made it harder and much less enjoyable for me to play. I finally brought it to Matt at 30th Street Guitars here in NYC and he took measurements of the Reverse's neck and said he'd see what he could do. He did an amazing job. I had it at band practice last week and the neck for me is now so much more playable. I might still have him slightly flatten the curve of the back of the neck, it's still a world of difference. Very happy.
