When I was a guitar obssesed kid back in the sixties it seemed that horrible cheap guitars had bolt-ons ala Teisco, Kingston and numerous other Japanese imports. Whereas good solid "quality" guitars, your Gibsons, Ricks,Guilds etc. all had set necks. It took me several decades to overcome the prejudice against bolt-ons [i still have it to a certain degree...although I have accepted Fenders] Now I view it as a matter of taste, you can't deny the quality of top end Ibanez and Jackson guitars, but I still gravitate to the set neck.
