+1, heck +10. IMHO one of the best things about bolt neck instruments in general and teles in particular is that we can take them apart, swap the parts around and put them back together any way we want. If people are making more by selling parts than by selling whole guitars there must be a lot of people who agee with me.
As far as the "evil" issue, I'll just note in passing that the second definition of "idolatry" is "blind or excessive devotion to something." Not saying I think it's right, but it's worth keeping in mind that out in the real world, you can probably find a lot of people who think our love of a mass produced consumer product is "evil."
