I own a 1958 Goya M-26, made by the Levin Company in Gothenburg, Sweden which has a bolt on neck (two bolts through the tail block and a glued on fingerboard extension). I'm not sure when Levin started using the bolt on neck, but I wonder what was the earliest company to make acoustic guitars with bolt on necks.
I didn't realise that my guitar had a bolt on neck until I needed a neck set. The luthier gave me a price quote, but when I went to pick it up, he charged about half of the quote. He hadn't realised that it had a bolt on neck till he started the job.
