AXOLOGY 101


NECK TO NECK
The guitar’s neck are classified into three categories:Bolt-on, Set neck, and Neck-thru.
A Bolt-on neck are screwed & bolted in a pocket routed into the guitar’s body. One common example are found on Fender guitars(Stratocaster/Telecaster).

A Set neck is quite similar to a bolt-on except that the neck is glued in place. Some call it “GLUED IN” necks. It can be found on most Gibsons guitars(Les Paul, SG’s, &ES-335)

A Neck-thru design is a type of design wherein the neck and center section of the body are out from one piece of wood, while the outer sections of the body are typically glued unto the center sections.Gibson Firebirn and B.C. RICH Mockingbird are popular examples of a neck-thru type.
