That's the correct answer right there. If my Chevy blows its motor and I buy a Ford engine to put in it as a replacement then that's OK. My car. My Engine. My business. No obligation to GM at all. In fact this applies to Fender made necks with logos as well. If I buy a Fender neck with logo (whether it be new from Fender or on the used market) then that neck and logo become my sole property. If I then put that neck on my parts build it's my neck and logo and Fender has no say in the matter. However if I sell that parts build and represent the entire package as Fender built then I would be committing fraud which is another matter all together.
