I’m pretty new to carpentry. With that being said,how are steel guitar bodies joined together ? Dowel pins, biscuits, screws.... ?

| Sometimes all of that - mostly just glue. |

I believe Sho~Bud used some dowels in their construction methods.
You can see them if you tip the guitar upside down.

| Klines used dowels the full length of the apron width,,Ross has the correct way,,,deck is attached at end plates,,,free to float from stress of pedals/pulls |

That's nice of you to say Sonny, not sure its the "correct"
way, but "I did it my way" (RIP Frank) |

I don't think Sho-Bud used dowels. I think those are plugs covering screw holes. I think they "screwed and glued".
