   The "bolt-on" method is used frequently on solid body electric guitars and on acoustic flattop guitars. In the typical electric guitar neck joint, the body and neck cross in horizontal plane.

   In guitars it also often allows superior access to top frets closest to the body. It is a common belief that this yields a stronger body-to-neck connection than an inexpensive mechanically joined bolt-on neck. There's also a third method, neck-through construction, which requires more material to provide an even stronger connection.

9. Neck-through-body construction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neck-through-body_construction

   Neck-through construction is significantly harder to mass-produce than bolt-on or set-in neck constructions. As such, guitars with this construction method tend to be more expensive than guitars made by other methods. This method of construction may be somewhat more common in basses than in guitars. Repairs to the neck are usually expensive and ...
