They are terrific instruments if you don't object tot he style of guitar- headless.
Otherwise a hollow Anderson oddly be a good recommendation.

Might be worth a go as it looks to spreads the weight across both shoulders
They do similar harnesses for outdoor cases.

Seems that with a bit of ingenuity & fiddling about, you could get something that would take the load off the shoulders almost completely.

I've seen a couple of old Ricks with the sax hook plate - usually they get normal strap buttons added as well, so it's rare to see an original one that hasn't.
It is probably also worth mentioning that the Rickenbacker 400 series are light guitars - around 6-7lb usually - and have the neck set in fairly deeply so they balance well - but you do have to like Rickenbackers...
