So is it the general consensus that 3 bolts/screws is just as good, if not better than, 4 screws (or more)?

One can argue that with less screws, there is MORE wood-to-wood contact = better resonance, better sustain ect.

One may also object in saying More screws = more tension = better sustain ect.

Which brings up a other point, guitar neck threaded insert fasteners. Anyone with experience?




I actually like that design. Am I a bad person?
Ive built numerous teles with threaded neck inserts. I think it is a better design. I need to order some more inserts though.
