J Condino does something similar with the mandolins he builds, but only the back is removable. That allows him to fine tune the bracing. He essentially puts a lining on the outside of the sides, and uses small screws to attach the back. When he's satisfied with the tone, he routes off the exterior lining and attaches the back normally.
