Glue is possibly stronger, but it has different chemical structure so possibly some chemicals can dissolve it or make it weaker. These stuff is best to leave to luthiers - the best that you can find mate..
Tell us please what price they asked mate -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Sorry to hear about your Epi
The headstock on my Gibson LP Studio got broken once. I took it to the local store, and the guy there glued it right back on. Didnt cost much and i cant even notice a scar where it broke and it plays just fine. I paid around 400nkr for the job, which would be around 60$. But.. i'm not sure if the same would apply to a break in the middle of the neck. Not sure if that will affect the sound different then a break in the headstock. Hope the luthier will give you good news. But in any case.. if it's a simple glue job, then it wont cost much. -------------------- Guitars: Schecter Stiletto Classic, Jackson SLSMG, Ibanez RG-380 Japan, Gibson Les Paul Studio

For what it's worth, here are some pictures of some of my guitar tech's work in repairing really awful damage. He seems to think pretty much everything is fixable.

I just found this, and had to think of this thread.
http://www.ibanezrules.com/tech/setup/crack_neck.htm Your crack looks worse than that one though. But still I think it's fixable. But I've got no idea what such a repair will do to the tone of the guitar. So keep us informed.

Looks bad, but I believe it can be fixed with some titebond glue, and a new finish on the neck..
See if it is worth it, fingers crossed
