The break didn't get the fretboard?? If it didn't then a fix is possible.

Doesn't look like there are any fractures to the fret board or many fractures at all. I'm taking it down to my guitar guy first tomorrow, and if he thinks it's too much a job to handle I'm gonna take it to the guy Ritchie recommended.

I've also decided I'm getting a Gibson R7 VOS Goldtop by the end of the year haha. Just a random fact.

100 times out of a 100 the neck / headstock will always break at the weakest part , that's just above the nut if the guitar has been dropped . Even if it breaks down from the nut toward the body , the fretboard usually remains intact and the headstock / neck will break away .

You have no idea how stressed I was for the first 2 days after this happened. Thought for sure it wouldn't be able to fix it, but the more I show/talk to people it seems that it's fixable. But that doesn't take away from the saved money I have to use to repair it, but the stories continue for this guitar I suppose. Besides me lighting it on fire, it has been run over, (minor damage), fireworks shot out of it, little burn marks on the pick guard and headstock, and it's fallen out of that damn strap so many time when I first got the guitar. I'm just waiting for the thing to blow up one day :P

You can fix that but it would cost as much as a new Epi, save the cash and get a new guitar.
