/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Yes, if it got broken again somehow. But a dowel forms an active bridge between both pieces and is structurally the best option, especially in this kind of situation, as the forces at play from the strings pull the whole construction forward and together, so a dowel is not only reinforced by applied constrictive force, this force is then counterbalancing to the forward pulling force.
Basically, if they manage to break it again after inserting a dowel, which if done right is stronger than almost any alternative barring inserting a steel plated with reinforcements, it's way past time for a whole new neck anyway.
