Bolt On Neck Tenon

[jaycee]

I am going to use a mortise and tenon joint with a bolt and barrel to join it all together.

My plans don't have this type of joint on them so I am wondering what size to make the tenon, 25mm ( 1" ) deep or maybe 20mm (3/4 ")

What has worked best for you guys?

I haven't used this type of joint so I can't answer but Cumpiano literally wrote the book on it:

Cumpiano Neck Joint

I have seen that page thanks, but there is no dimension for the depth of the tenon, not unless I'm missing it, although if that drawing is to scale it looks about 20mm

Cumpiano has a new page on this subject, google tenon joint cumpiano guitar........I use about 1 " and I went a bit wider but its probably not necesarry.
