The guitar was hit on the headstock and it cracked either side of the neck (see pics). The crack has been repaired by injecting Luther's wood glue with a very fine bore hypodermic needle into the area and filling the surface with clear lacquer.
This crack is not the traditional crack that Gibson's tend to suffer from due to the weak point created by the truss rod nut cavity - if so, splines of mahogany would be added under the neck / headstock joint area.
