I use two 1/4" bolts to bolt my necks to the guitar bodies...I have found that on one of the guitars a bolt came loose . Maybe it wasn't really tightened up good in beginning....Do any of you use a lock washer or a drop of Locktight on the threads....Larry

I use Locktite (when I don't forget to) & think it's a good idea. I like the clean look of the fasteners without a lockwasher under the head.
