Get a mirror and take a look inside. Does it have a cleat?

Could be that the repair will last a life time or fail tomorrow. If the crack is because it was accidentally dropped or hit then it is probably OK. If it was caused by abuse then there could be other underlying problems.

In other words there is no real way to predict it's future without seeing and holding it.

IMHO unless it was a very good deal and you know it's real history I would stay away from it.

If you really like it and it is a good deal see if you can take it to another unbiased technician for a once over.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Nils https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/1977-w-crack/#post-82921 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/1977-w-crack/#post-82916 Tue, 04 Jan 2005 00:25:29 +0000 Guitar Repair and Maintenance OCCRedNeck https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/1977-w-crack/#post-82916 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/1977-w-crack/#post-5996 Sat, 01 Jan 2005 17:11:37 +0000 I've been looking for a marting.
