I'm seeing on ebay that hundreds of fender bodys and necks are for sale. Do these break that often, where do these come from?[/b]

I agree...people are out to make some money.

I hear that sometimes, if sold in pieces, people can make more money than selling the guitar as a whole.

But no, my experience (however limited) with Fenders are that they're built like tanks.

I recall seeing photographs in Fender books showing early advertising of (normal sized) people standing on guitar necks while the guitar is resting between two chairs.

I also read that Leo questioned the need to have a truss rod in his rock solid maple necks. I believe he decided to put them in since most if not all his contemporaries (aucoustic guitars and early custom electrics) had them in their guitar necks for adjustments.

Fenders are buit pretty damn well. I've had my Stratocaster fall flat on the carpet pretty hard (thru carelessness) without any damage at all. All I had to do is re-tune a string. lol

Rock on!
