A set neck guitar is one where the neck is glued in very carefully instead of screwed on as in bolt on necks. A neck through is one where the neck is actually part of the guitar body.

What are the three most common electric guitar neck attachments?

broken down into catagories and how to spot it bolt on - think fender strats , where the neck meets the body it has a metal plate and 4 bolts going through the entire neck and attaching to the body. This is the most commonly found neck attachment. The pro is you can toss a broken neck off and replace it without any major work. The note longevity isn't the best of the three but look at Yngwie Malmsteen to Jimi Hendrix they could all get great sounds out of bolt on guitars. set neck - think les pauls , where the neck is glued to the body. It is very visable to see the body and the neck being two pieces of wood. Set neck has a risk of the neck snapping and it isn't cheap to fix , the note longevity is better than bolt on and provides a warmer sound many will say. Ed Roman who was a famous guitar builder hates set neck and dedicated websites to why it is horrible, neckthrough - heavy metal guitars predominantly , if you flip the guitar over it looks like one natural piece of wood. It is difficult to explain how they make the guitars like it. This offers the most sustain and a really full sound to the guitar. The con like set neck is that if the neck snaps it's a fortune to fix. for extra credit .. set thru fuses what people like about set neck and neckthrough , dean and ltd guitars do this a lot.
