No, it's an easy out for him to say that it had lost all it's value just because it was being repainted. It's a bit careless. If you're in the business of restoring any '59... imagine it had been a Standard instead? Imagine you hadn't wanted a solid colour? I'm angry for you!
I assume it's the headstock? It's very possible to fix that invisibily, and at the same time make the joint much stronger than it used to be. Whether you'll notice it once it's in your hands, I guess that's a judgement call.
I can't believe he'd try to charge you for the neck repair.
