Guitar is a Washburn WD32SW Mahogany/Sitka all solid with a neck cracked thanks to UPS.. I am looking to unload it to someone who can actually fix it.

I've only seen damaged guitars on Ebay and they sell for $15 - $40. For that money, I'd fiddle around with it myself......or post some ads locally to see if anyone wants it.

Yep, the usual selling place for these is Ebay.

Most folks strip them and sell all the gear separately.... you may get more $$$ from the gear than from the guitar itself....

As was posted earlier... depending on the break, you could re-glue it or take it to a luthier for repair. If you aren't familiar with this sort of repair, the luthier will do a very clean job.. These repairs are usually not all that expensive.

Good luck

John
