I thought because I read it on as tag (...and was told by a salesman at a shop), that an All-Parts Fender lic. tele headstock shaped neck was to be used as a replacement for a broken fender guitar only and that you couldn't build you own guitars from these.

Lately there are 3 three threads that mentions a few builders using All-Parts parts to build their custom guitars...so is that legal or what?

The reason I'm asking is that I have the guitar building bug once again and do I need to pay a fee to use a fender headstock?
