Beneteau uses a bolt on ssytem, but glues the FB extension.
Furch, Taylor and Bourgeois are 3 that have no glue used in the neck or FB extension joint and are true bolt ons

I have a Bourgeois. The Taylor seems to be the best I have heard of so far.

I know that Fender doesn't really make acoustic guitars, but they did produce some instruments without pickups that have bolt-on necks.

I can do an NT neck swap in less than 5 minutes. It really is simple yet genius. I don't believe anyone else has such a non invasive procedure, do they?

OK, here's the followup, as promised, from someone who knows a lot about Martin guitars. I hope he doesn't mind me quoting him:
"The 16 Series, and all other similar Series, are either Simple Dovetails after 2012 or M/T prior. Mexican-made Martins still use the M/T neck joints. The M/T necks have a bolt and glue. The Simple Dovetail necks use glue only. None of them would be considered bolt-on in the context which you are asking."

Don't forget about Yamamoto guitars.

Can you tell me anything about that neck joint? I couldn't find much in a Google search, except it is the specs of one I found for sale.

Regarding the M/T........Yes you are right, I think the bolt is used to hold the 2 pieces together while the glue dries. Some companies like Martin don't bother removing it because of the additional cost. So you are right it is not a true Bolt on neck. Last edited by fongie; 06-04-2019 at 05:24 PM. |

Babicz Guitars have what they call a continually adjustable neck. Which is bolted on.
http://fullcontacthardware.com/babic...djustable-neck Brunner Guitars B-compact series are bolt on necks and you can have different necks for one body. http://brunner-guitars.com/en/multi-neck/ Voyage-Air guitars I don’t know if you would call it bolted on but the hinge is held on by screws and you can completely remove the neck. |

Framus also built acoustic guitars with bolt-on necks.
Fender and Framus both go back to the seventies with their bolt-on necks, that predates most of the others on the list.

I'm thinking that I should have titled the thread "non-glued" rather than "bolt on", because there are quite a few designs in which deterioration in the guitar's geometry can be compensated fairly easily. One I thought of last night is the Steinberger Martins, and didn't some early American guitars have a key-adjustable neck?

You’d probably have an easier time compiling a list of people still using glued joints.
