Mossman. Bolt and glue. May have been the first to do it.

There are so many guitar makers that use bolt on necks that the list is liable to stretch that least half if not more than half the entire industry...

My GPCPA3 (and all the PA models of the initial generation) used that.

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.
What I mean is that if you take the bolts out of say, a Collings, you only have to unstick the fretboard extension, whereas, with a Martin you would also have to unstick the the neck joint itself.

If I'm wrong, would someone please put me right about this.

I'll get back to you on that.


Thanks to everyone for the replies so far, the more the merrier. Once I have a name, I or anyone else can have a closer look at it.
