Set-in necks are the most popular on acoustic guitars. Almost all major acoustic guitar manufacturers use set-in necks, with notable exceptions being Taylor Guitars, Godin Guitars, and Collings Guitars. In the electric guitar market, Gibson produces almost all of its electric offerings as set-in neck models—as opposed to Fender, which builds most of its electric instruments with bolt-on necks. In rare cases, maker use other solutions. Babicz Guitars makes a mechanically joined neck that can be "wound" up or down to adjust action height.

Glues

Wooden musical instrument construction relies on four widely used types of glues:

• Hide glue
• PVA ("white glue" and "yellow glue")
• Epoxy and Cyanoacrylate (less common because they make it difficult to disassemble the joint for repair)

Advantages

Typically cited advantages of set-in neck include:

• Warmer tone
• More sustain
• Often, better access to top frets compared bolt-on necks that use a square metal plate

Disadvantages

• Certain models seem prone to neck breakage. Though this may be due to weaker neck wood (mahogany instead of maple), the greater difficulty in replacing a neck that is glued-in vs. one that is bolted on should be apparent.
• Harder and more expensive to mass manufacture than bolt-on necks—harder to repair or service because the glue must be steamed or melted with a hot knife
• The player has no control over the neck-to-body angle; changing it requires disassembling the instrument and re-glueing the neck by an experienced luthier.{{Citation needed|date=March 2012}}
