Hi Rami, this looks sick! I wasn't able to copy your document or scrub through any features, (could be a document permission thing on your end, not sure) so I took a swing at modeling a bolt on neck similar to yours:

There are some problems with my approach that I haven't worked out yet, particularly around the heel and headstock transitions, (I have a support request for this here) but hopefully this steers you in the right direction.
The main things I've found that help are A: start with bezier curves in your sketches, and B: try to end up with as few wireframe elements as possible. Due to the lack of document permissions, (?) I'm not really sure which operations are which in your model, but in any case there shouldn't be six lines running down the back of the neck.
Feel free to take a look at the whole document, I have all of my guitar stuff in there.
Let me know if this helps!
