Pic of the setup from laying the 7 tracks down...only the NR was used in the end. Went great, and everybody was digging the tone we got out of 'er...

I ended up using the NR on 7 of 8 tracks. Studio was kind of a dive but it all worked out and couldnt be happier with how the bird sounded.
Sweet - I actually sold my Ric for $$ on the NR. Part of me missed the Ric, maybe another one someday. I think I miss the idea I had a Ric in reality, because it didn't get as much use in a year as the NR has since the summer.
How different does the NR 'bird sound from the reverse? Are they of similar vintage and similar set-up? What were your settings with the pickups?
This here rightfully belongs in another forum!!!

It's almost hard to describe, but I'll try. The NR I would describe as tighter sounding in the mix, and more balanced from low to high. Where the reverse 'bird seems to have a lot more zing/scream in the high, and more boom/woof on the low. Perhaps just a "hotter" sound. The neck and body on the NR are beefier too, where the reverse has a sleeker feel overall.
