So anyway, I've always had this hankering to have a headless Ricky.
A bit of crude cut'n'paste for a rough idea...
Whaddya reckon - might work?
Heck, maybe a donor Ricky with a broken head might make a good base.
I could otherwise experiment with body shapes or base it on a more modern Ricky where the neck pickup is further down, so the body could be shortened a bit.,.

If you do a Google search on 'headless Rickenbacker' you'll find a few examples, most of them home builds but there's at least one luthier that says they can build them.
