Would you buy a Gibson with a repaired headstock?

A friend of mine has played apx 5000 gigs on a Les Paul had has had the headstock broken 3 times (in different places), it still plays and sounds great.

When I am buying a vintage instrument I want a dead mint 100% original instrument , including untouched solder joints . To think of wasting money on a broken/repaired headstock for me would be throwing my Drachmas away and a terribile waste of money .

I have 2 with broken head stocks, a 30's L-30 that I inherited from my grandmother and a 60 EMS-1235 that I bought in the 80's. I doubt that I would ever sell these two, for different reasons.
Would I buy one now? I doubt it unless it was special. A low price doesn't even get me going and still resale is a pain if I don't jive with it.
