Thank you question mark, I appreciate the reply, looks like I'm still on the hunt. Do you have any recommendations for a decent guitar around the $500 price point? I've been looking at new DR500MCE Masterbilt Epiphone guitars (a bit pricey for me) and I wouldn't be able to get a case to keep it humidified for a while. I know this is the Gibson forums and most people probably don't like discussing other guitar manufacturers but I've also been looking at a Breedlove Organic Collection (Jeff Bridges Signature), they are all solid wood and they come with a case. My local guitar shops have a very limited stock for "mid range" guitars. They have a abundance of beginner "entry level" and $1000+ guitars so I'm unable to try guitars in my price range hands on. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'm hoping for some input on a guitar I'm looking at. The guitar is a Epiphone DR500MCE Masterbilt and is in seemingly great condition other than this crack in the neck area by the nut. The seller says that the crack is on both sides of the neck but only gives me one picture which I'll post here. They live about 2 hours away from me so I don't really want to drive out there if it's not worth it. My question is how much would you pay for the guitar? Would it be worth picking up or should I pass on it? Any help is greatly appreciated. The headstock doesn't seem to have any scuffs on it that might have caused the crack I'll upload a picture of that as well. They are asking $300 obo.
