Re: Why bolt on?
I will not play your childish BS ultimatum games. I will, however, respond to whatever I want to, when I feel it is necessary. Let me explain this as plainly as I can, because you seem to be COMPLETELY unable to take the advice of your own ex-signature:
1) I do not care about your inane BS response to minute details - they all amount to jack squat and contributes virtually nothing of significance to any of the threads.
2) I do care that your whinging and nitpicking is disruptive by extension of its effects on everyone else.
3) It'd be nice if you could see past your own moral superiority complex and try and understand what I'm saying, or at least try and get along with the dudes here, but I seriously doubt that will happen, so just go ahead and do whatever you're going to do. You're obviously not going to listen to me or anyone else.
Whatever. I've said my piece. Take it or leave it, or make another smug response. I'm done.

Re: Why bolt on?
You say I pick apart minutia and nitpick, but people who reply to me have not, up to this point, said "this is too trivial/minute/nitpicky for me to respond to", so.. I just don't believe you. You guys are all pretty chummy and frequently reinforce each other's opinions, it seems more likely that dislike the fact that I challenge anything at all, especially when it comes to your purchase decisions. This all seemed to have got started with the cheap pedal / boutique pedal thread.

Hold on a minute there, buster! That's not what he said at all.

Re: Why bolt on?
Now that we have the laundry aired out, we can always go back to the original topic....
Seems to me that the original post makes it sound a bit like like back-seat driving.... A 'shop teacher' giving design opinion on something he probably doesn't know anything about.
The design has been improved upon here and there, but still largely exists in its original form after 60 years. That's IMO a testament to that design.

Re: Why bolt on?
I think so. How close was Fender, I wonder, to calling their neck design The Patented Cyclone Neck? Revolutionary new fastener technology cuts through wood like a tornado to connect body and neck with the force of a hurricane! The marvels of modern science and the power of the atom have been harnessed to bond maple to ash in a harmonious combination of formidable mechanical strength!

Re: Why bolt on?
Screws use the substrate for fastening and bolts add a nut for fastening. The whole thing is colloquial terminology with a few reasonable reasons. Copywriting or just laziness, the point is that its now defined colloquially as essentially meaning the same thing and as such is interchangeable when used in context. Quick, someone copy write the term screw-on for necks like Candy crush was trying to do for "candy".
off u see did MRSAge, I m on tapa talk and auto correct is hating on me

Re: Why bolt on?
Why is it not a 'Bolt-Off' or 'Screw-Off' neck ? Or even more accurately, 'Bolt-on/ bolt-off' or 'Screw on/ screw off' neck ?
In the world of electronics, when you buy a switch, you don't buy an 'On' switch or an 'Off' switch, you buy an 'On/off' switch.

Re: Why bolt on?
Because at that time Leo was trying to sell a "toy" guitar in a climate of snobbish guitarists clinging to the classic way of constructing an instrument.
I'm sure they tossed the wording around...screw on, bolt on...and realized that calling it a screw on neck made it sound more cheap and silly. The term 'bolt on' probably came to be from people describing them at first sight. That's just my guess.
