Bolt on Neck was created on 2008-09-17.
After Leo Fender sold Fender to CBS he stayed on as a design consultant and created the 3-Bolt neck with tilt adjustment as an improvement over the original 4 bolt neck that had no tilt adjustment other than using shims. Fender CBS's production quality, specifically the mismatch of the neck pocket size to the neck heel, resulted in an unstable neck attachment much of the time and gave the 3 bolt neck a bad reputation. Leo later proved the 3 bolt neck worked if done properly with his G&L guitars.
The main difference between a Fender guitar with a 3-bolt neck and one with a traditional 4-bolt neck is the number of bolts used to attach the neck to the body of the guitar. A 4-bolt neck provides more stability and potentially better sustain, while a 3-bolt neck allows for easier adjustment and potentially smoother playability.
Bolt-on neck, surprisingly.. Supposedly, this is a great playing bass though. Sure wish they made a neck thru model
bolt on necks are cheaper than set necks, and set necks are cheaper, than neck through. bolt on necks have less sustain but are cheap and easy to repair. set necks have more sustain, are expensive and harder to repair than bolt-on. neck through has more sustain than set neck but is more expensive and harder to repair than set neck.
