The neck has somehow escaped still in perfect condition, the body is split clean in 2, the split goes directly down the middle, from the lower pitched side of the neck join to the right hand side strap pin. I do believe this can be fixed back into good condition aslong as i can find a powerful enough glue to re-build the body. Any ideas?

The wood will break before the glue seem breaks, I kid you not. TiteBond, you be able to check retailers in your area, the TiteBondIII is the best stuff. Good luck, man! B Kent
