if it really comes down to the last dollar then you have to pay top dollar for a busted guitar. and that headstock break is pretty nasty. it looks like the break on my 64 strat that is one of my best strats but i bought it cheapOddly enough, I actually don't want an intact LP Special. I've been looking for one with either a tunamatic bridge or drill holes from a Bigsby so I can install a Bigsby without damaging a clean vintage instrument. I play a vintage Tele with a Bigbsy as well. It's just personal preference and I think they happen to look pretty killer on a LP Special.
This is not a guitar I'm looking to resell at some point. It fits my needs pretty great (besides the headstock). I personally have not seen a LP special sell for less than $5k lately unless it was basically gutted and repainted.
