I am very surprised to read names such as Huss & Dalton, Bourgeois, Froggy Bottom, Godall or Collings within your list...Do their guitars really have bolt-on necks, or maybe is it that they sometimes used this process instead (smth. that would not sound totally unlikely to me) instead ?
I had not enough time to read much of this thread, then sorry if this has been discussed already... Among the brands that did make guitars with bolt-on necks, it seems like the first guitar I ever bought, a Framus, had a bolt-on neck...I don't know if the technique was used regularly on their guitars though (like Taylor does for instance)...Mine was kind of an entry level instrument with a very thin neck, pretty much like an electric-guitar inspired one (reminds me a bit of those on some early Stratocasters)... Framus is a German make too, and the guitar would be in the $130-180 range approximately to day I think |

I think this is a good overview of the pros and cons of dovetail vs bolt-on (bold emphasis added by me.) Quote:

as dovetail joints would...But considering that Doc Watson himself was last seen playing a Goodall, and after hearing outstanding Huss & Dalton or Bourgeois, I guess I'll have to re-consider this point possibly. Thanks for this interesting thread too. Bernie |

I also do what I call a tilt-neck. Adjustable on-the-fly by the player in about 5 seconds, without tools. Mostly used on classical guitars, animation here. |

Certainly one of the earliest examples of an acoustic with bolt on neck.

You neck joint looks similar to my Bourgeois., except that the fretboard bolts in mine are lengthwise.

A recent discovery for me is M.J. Franks guitars. The fact that he uses a bolt on neck design is what swayed me to take a chance on a used one. NGD coming soon.

Would the Journey Instruments neck on the Overhead model count as bolt on?

I'm being liberal, and including any where the neck joint doesn't have to be unglued.

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. https://claescaster.com/2014/01/20/h...-a-levin-neck/
