When did fender use 3 bolt necks?
After Leo Fender sold Fender to CBS he stayed on as a design consultant and created the 3-Bolt neck with tilt adjustment as an improvement over the original 4 bolt neck that had no tilt adjustment other than using shims. Fender CBS's production quality, specifically the mismatch of the neck pocket size to the neck heel, resulted in an unstable neck attachment much of the time and gave the 3 bolt neck a bad reputation. Leo later proved the 3 bolt neck worked if done properly with his G&L guitars.

Drawbacks of a bolt on guitar neck?
A bolt on neck can make a guitar have less sustain, or the notes do not ring as long. This is one major argument between Gibson and fender fans. On the upside bolt on necks are easier to adjust and replace and ALOT of people prefer the Fender tone. The main thing with a bolt on neck is to make sure it is firmly mounted. Most use wood screws but if the screws get stripped you might want to talk to a luthier about putting brass inserts into the neck and use machine screws to secure the neck. Added 8/2010 There is a lot to argue about neck mass and contact. However, as I have seen many big manufacturers screw up neck pockets for bolt-on necks. A bolt on neck is only as good as the neck to pocket fit. The tighter the fit the better the transfer of tone and sound. The Key here is, perfect wood to wood contact and using real bolts with threaded inserts. The cheaper wood screws are OK but do not offer consistent tension. Furthermore, many builders leave, paint and paint build up in neck pockets, others using glue have a minimal tolerance of glue spaced between the wood to wood contact. Think of an electrical circuit, if a wire is broken there is no connection. A .0001" separation can cause lose of sustain and tone. The bottom line is, as long as the "Bolt" in is done correctly more tonal quality will be evident then a set (glued in) neck. A neck through with string through is best. If you were a big corporation and saving .25 on each guitar when you make 10,000 guitars a month, don't you think you might have a bigger Christmas bonus?
