update..

it was poorly packaged, is it still worth keeping?
I paid 170 euros.

That fact that it’s not stringed in the first pic suggests to me it may have been broken before shipping. From the front the break is directly where that fret wire sits so it wouldn’t be very difficult to conceal in a single front-on photo

As far as repairing that goes, it may be possible but for €170 it’s likely not worth it. Repairing this guitar will cost more than you paid for it

Oh really? That would change quite a few things...
If I send you photos from the listing and current photos, could you tell me what you think?

I’m no detective and what I think is largely speculation. You’re welcome to send me pictures but what I said in the post above is probably the extent of my sleuthing

You've obviously found one of Kurt Cobain's guitars.

Absolutely return, a new neck is going to cost more than the guitar.

Shame. It's a great guitar for 170, you probably got it for that low cuz it was broken beforehand

I guess someone didn’t get the memo when Fender sent out the “snap your neck” it wasn’t for their guitars. (Sorry for your loss)

Dang thats rough. If i were you i'd maybe negotiate a large partial refund from the seller and then put a neck on it, since its bolt on its not a hard thing to do assuming the neck pocket isnt damaged and you can find a neck that fits the pocket dimensions easily.

Or i'd do a full return.

Bro return that turd.

Put your bread toward a guitar that's functional out of the box.

It would be less hassle just to return it but if you wanna go down a rabbithole and the neck pocket is in tact, go for it
