mmmmm...I think one with no neck might actually sound "better". That great big huge massive soundboard that extends all the way to the toners would be a bugger to try to play though.
Hey does a dulcimer have a neck? Wade?? I know it has a fretboard but....
So yeah...I'd imagine that a neckless guitar while unplayable, would probably sound HUGE!!!

So there you have it. The neck is probably the single biggest tone-sucker on the whole guitar. If you could play a neckless guitar that had a body that ran from endpin to tuners...CANNON??? Nope...NUCLEAR DEVICE!
