I guess it's good that a guy can find parts.

And I guess it's good that the sellers are making money selling all of the parts. It's quite the business plan.

My other guitar is a Strat.

I would like to visit there facility,be like a kid in a candy store.

While I can't be 100% sure on this, I believe that some of the folks on Ebay buy new Fender guitars then take them apart and sell the parts. For example, I've noticed from time to time with "Stratosphere" that if they have say a "Clapton Signature Series Neck", if you look around in the rest of their auctions, often you will find the body that went with that neck...as well as the other pieces. Clearly parts will get separated in lots...if the neck sells but the body doesn't, the body will get carried over to the next auction but you get the general idea. The logic here is that they can sell the parts for more than the whole instrument cost and thus, make a decent profit.

Again I could be wrong on that but it does appear that's the way they do it.

Peace,
Jim

Stratosphere just buy guitars and break em down for parts, like a scrapyard does with cars i suppose. Ed Roman does the same thing but with all makes and models of guitar.
