Acoustic guitars with bolt-on necks
I'm trying to make a comprehensive list of guitars with bolt-on necks. This could mean a bolted joint, but possibly a glued fretboard extension. This is what I have so far:
Taylor, NT, pre-NT* Bourgeois Collings, Waterloo* Smallman Some Ovation* Some LaSiDo* - pre-2006? Goodall? Huss and Dalton Breedlove, US only Froggy Bottom Adam Buchwald Herb Taylor German Guitars. McPherson Lag – bolt plus epoxy? Olsen? Furch/Stonebridge Yamamoto Franklin Tinker Klein Some Wingert Proulx Faith Smoothstone Slobod Walden – bolt + glue? Charles Fox I would be grateful for any comments on, or additions to, this list. Thanks. |
Looks like you are Done...

I think that Sawchyn Guitars in Canada also prefers bolt on.
Also probably most Ovation who probably was the first to do this in mass production starting some 40 years ago. |
Garrison Guitars. They were made in Newfoundland, Canada, before Gibson acquired them 2007, made some Gibson acoustics there and then shut down the operation.
|
Some Martin guitars
|
Thanks guys, I'll add them to my list.
FWIW, I have something of an obsession with variable neck angles, and their reset consequences, in new and not-very-old guitars. |

Also the article I posted does not mention the bolt on part of their design but I thought it would be an interesting read for some. |
Thanks for the correction. While I’ve yet to play one I’ve definitely heard good things about Furch guitars, so I’m glad to hear that they’re still in production!

Had a Tacoma with bolt on neck.
|
My Goya and Levine guitars made is Sweden in the mid 60's all have bolt on necks. Before Martin bought them out.
|
My Tacoma Roadking has a bolt on neck. Like an electric.
Ok, maybe that's "Screw On Neck" |

My particular guitar has been fine - as good as any Taylor with the same neck joint I suspect :). They've been switched to the simple dovetail on at least the more expensive models because it seems Martin got a lot of pushback. (My speculation - no inside info.) I think there are still some models (not made in the PA factory) that use that, but I don't spend any time collecting guitar specs. |
