Bolt-on necks
Hi folks, I haven't been around here for a while.
Is there, or can we a compile, a comprehensive list of makers who use bolt-on necks? I can start: Taylor Bourgeois Collings* Some LaSiDo* Smallman* Some Ovation?* It would also be useful to know which of them use a glued fretboard extension as opposed to fully bolt-on. I've marked mine with an asterisk. Thanks. Thanks

Bolt on
Add Breedlove to that list.
I might be corrected by some Martin faithful on this, but I believe some lower end Martins also use a bolt on neck. And believe it or not, I know exactly where Toowoomba is. I have friends who emigrated from Calgary Canada there some years ago.

I believe Adam Buchwald at Circle Strings also uses a bolt on neck with glued fretboard extension setup.

Thanks for the replies so far, a big help. Re the uncertain ones, at least it points me in a direction that I can do some more research.
Re Martin, and similar. I was thinking of necks that didn't need steaming to get them off, rather than the bolt+glue as used by Martin, but it is all useful info.

Goodall guitars have ALWAYS had a bolt-on neck... which surprised me when James told me that every one of the guitars he's built has used that system!
I believe that Jim Olsen also uses a bolt-on neck? Not entirely certain. Breedlove, yep. (Haven't heard the distinction between American and Asian-built, though...)

Furch/Stonebridge
But I don't think Martin makes the list.

You might be better off listing builders who use dove tail joints.... the list will be smaller

Yamamoto uses an excellent bolt-on method.
