I've seen one like that! The wizzards at MM fixed it! I was impressed by this more than anything else!!!

Oh boy... this hurts...

Fixable, but to make it perfect would take somebody REALLY good...

My fellow luthier ( note : master luthier , builder of many top notch violins etc ) says : 2-3 days and this thing gonna look brand new . Common LP guitars issue , not a big deal
Seriously , my heart aches - how come that happened ((((

Any idea on ballpark cost to fix something like this? He's asking ~2k less than what they cost without the "Limited Edition Headstock Snapped Off With Custom Splintering" option. If this is a low 3-digit fix someone could have a really nice guitar at an excellent pricepoint.

Also, curious as to how a guitar like this (purchased damaged off of eBay) would fare in regards to any warranty through EBMM? Not for the neck damage of course, but for down-the-line parts, electronics, stuff-normally-covered-under-warranty and so on?

FYI : fixing the LP headstock was like 150$ , the outcome looks perfect .
In this case things are a bit more complicated , but nothing that cannot be fixed .
Seriously considering buying this one since the seller is open to ship overseas .

Matching the paint might be the most difficult (and costly) part of the repair.

Hmmm ... this headless majesty looks pretty awesome to me!

This one would be perfect for a complete Refinish!. I'd paint it in Dargie Delight, if I win the Auction
The Neck looks interesting, seems like there is an extra Piece of Maple in there to Reinforce the Neck/Trussrodchannel.

Ouch!
That's why I don't like angled headstocks.
