I like the old style Dovetail joints ... Loved the episode ...

Thank you! Obviously we like Dovetail as well. :)

I have done glued on dovetails, and bolt on tenon and mortise in the past. I have settled on a bolt on dovetail for my current builds. I love the ease of adjustment, but the simplicity of a fully bolt on neck for future adjustments if needed.

Neat! Sounds good.

I built an acoustic body built kit (the body was already built), and that had a dovetail joint. For the two I've built I choose to do a bolt on style connection. I've used whatever I got for fret wire, so it's probably not stainless steel. I would be tempted to try that on future builds, however.

How did they turn out? Are you pleased with the sound?

@MrDaveKC 23 дня назад

@@showalterguitars5707 The first one I'm very pleased with. It plays and sounds good. The second one I'm still tweaking, but I experimented quite a bit and I'm learning on it. It sounds good, but I'm not thrilled with how it plays yet.
