WHAT DOES BOLT-ON MEAN IN ENGLISH?

bolt-on

Bolt-on neck

Bolt-on neck is a method of guitar construction that involves joining a guitar neck and body using screws as opposed to glue as with set-in neck joints. The term is a misnomer, introduced mostly by Fender whose guitars traditionally had "bolt-on necks". Real bolted joints are uncommon in guitar production. However, at least one aftermarket manufacturer offers a replacement for Fender neckplates and screws which uses captive inserts — embedded in the guitar body by means of an external self-tapping thread — and M4 machine screws. This is claimed to permit a higher fastening torque than ordinary woodscrews, and hence a better coupling between neck and body. This method is used frequently on solid body electric guitars and on acoustic flattop guitars. In the typical electric guitar bolt-on neck joint, the body and neck cross in horizontal plane, the neck is inserted in a pre-routed "pocket" in the body, and they are joined using 3 or 4 screws. As screw heads damage the wood and could put extra stress on it, typically a rectangular metal plate or a pair of metal plates are used to secure the joint and re-distribute the screw pressure evenly.
