Subject: RE: Bolt on guitar necks
Another advantage is that it is much easier and cheaper to have a broken neck/headstock replaced with a bolt-on, than repaired in the case of a dreadful accident. But repairs would be easier too if the neck is removable.

Main advantage is with neck resets and set-ups, though. Most respected luthiers say there's no acoustic advantage to the old dovetail joint.
