No expert here, but I immediately thought of Steve James when I heard you play. If you haven't already, check him out on YouTube. He's usually playing a single cone in either steel or the wood bodied resorocket with the cutaway he helped design.
The 12 fret NRP has such a hauntingly beautiful sound that I got hooked playing mine last year, but then my addiction switched over to the mandolin given my taste for bluegrass. I haven't played my NRP in months and thought about listing it on Reverb in order to upgrade the mandolin. If you settle on a 12 fret NRP, feel free to send me a message.
