Here are the great example of how this kind of damage can be repaired, and how I do it frequently. It`s a pretty common case, and if there was no amateur attempts of reparation it can be easily glued back and guitar will live long and happy live ( if it dont break it again by your own fault ofc :) ). Despite popular belief after proper gluing barely nothing change withing the guitar (in case when parts fits perfectly with no missing chips). And in addition to all of that - many of guitar manufacturers that makes acoustic guitars and necks with angled headstock dont use one big chunk of wood for neck. Almost all of them are already glued from several pieces of wood in the name of stability and cheaper production process.
Beside neck repair here I show one of examples of how crack can be masked. There is a lot of ways to do it, starting from not doing with finish anything at all and finishing with full refinish of damaged part when it`s really worth it.
"Gluing the truss rod" and "Truss rod non-adjustable now" - first of all you can't do a metal+wood bond with Titebond, bc it's dont fit for this purpose. Beside that - truss rod here is in polyethylene film, and it dont really gluable at all. Second - the nut located on the other side, and look first p, in case of any further questions about gluing the truss rod.
Also we launch YT sponsorship, and already have educational content about fretworks.
Detailed description of video, tools and agents used will be a bit later on my Patreon.

This ones made me some frustraion in coment section on Shorts with this repair, so i pin them here too: 1. "Gluing the truss rod" - you can't do a metal+wood bond with Titebond, bc it's dont fit for this purpose. Beside that - truss rod here is in polyethylene film, and polyethylene, you know, dont really gluable at all. 2. "Truss rod non-adjustable now" - the nut located on the other side, and look first p, in case of any further questions about gluing the truss rod. 3. "Rubber, lol?" - in case of perfect fit of parts this is the best method bc it compresses from all sides and hold crack firmly. In case of any other clamp you get only two point of pressure, damaged wood and helluva lot of other issues 4. "SPLINES" - Nope, gluing cracks with THIS much area don`t need any splines. And doesn`t affect playability at all. It will definitely sounds bit different, but not so much as many told here and after all it plays again :)
