I'm uncertain

I am totally against taking apart vintage instruments unless the body in more pieces than a ravenburger puzzle and the neck is more warped than the starship enterprise. I honestly believe well made instruments (wheter from a factory or home built) have a soul. They are like human beings more than the sum of there parts.

Therefore I dislike taking fine instruments apart just for the sake of money, but I won't convict ppl who do that. When an instrument is severly damaged in a certain area then I think it's fine to sell off a neck. but not when the body that it was once attached to is perfectly fine.

But as long as ppl buy the parts other ppl will sell them.
