cetera Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 I have a neck that I'd like someone to build a bound 'Ricky' body for. I can then supply pickups/hardware etc and it can all be assembled... May be a fun project for someone who knows what they're doing? PM me, if interested.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waddo Soqable Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Back to Op's idea, I do likes me a rickenfaker... I'd think a rick body being a thinnish flat slab wouldn't be too challenging to cut out on a bandsaw or even jig saw and fettle by hand, the binding would be the harder part I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cetera Posted July 3, 2023 Author Share Posted July 3, 2023 Thanks chaps. Seems somebody with very little previous engagement on this site feels the need to make unqualified comment on my personal need for, or reasons for wanting, another instrument. I can assure him that all my instruments are hard earned, bought and paid for. I am also willing to pay for materials and someone's time/experience. I just thought that it may be a fun project that someone here has the access to material and necessary skills for.... and would like to join me in. Maybe @JohnH89 might like to get to know the good people on this forum and contribute a little more, positively and in general, before making judgements and commenting here?

Andyjr1515 Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 I'm flattered, @Hellzero - thanks. Looks a relatively straightforward but interesting project, @cetera. Unfortunately, I'm fully committed at the moment and so can't throw my hat in the ring - but there are a number of talented folk round here that may be able to 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lidl e Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 What about finding an old bolt on rickenfaker and using that body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Harley Benton RB 414 would make a good enough modding platform without a special body build and would be much cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waddo Soqable Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Coming from the out there left field, I'd considered making a body of rick shape by cutting out lamination layers, each layer with the appropriate detail cut thru it first, ie neck pocket shape and routs, and then gluing the lot together to make a "ply".. this meaning you can construct it without a router or anything fancy tooling wise. Hopefully you see what I mean. Accepted you may not in fact want to do any woodworky stuff yourself, but just a thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
