@Exorcist - no, I didn’t need to.

Syringes are the answer, along with *careful* separation of the break - you’d be surprised how much give there can be.

I wonder what caused the neck to crack like that.

I would guess the guitar falling forwards and landing on the end of the headstock, since it’s clearly been pushed backwards relative to the neck. There is a suspicious mark on the tip of it...

Could even have happened inside the case, whilst in transit.

That's exactly what happened to mine, and got the same cracks. Thought I had straplocks on, had rushed home on a lunchbreak to twiddle with a new FUCH's amp I had just bought, lean't over and off it popped. I could have cried. One of my most cherished guitars too I couldn't even look at the damage for weeks, and its pretty much been in a case since it happened a few years ago. 

Thanks @HarrySeven I'll try the syringe method and hope for the best.

I've certainly no idea what it is, but rather like it. It's almost what Rickenbacker might have designed if they were making a superstrat. Odd that the neck is a totally different colour.

Pickups look like they might be the old Maxons I like, but loads of pickups look like that. Hope it sounds great when it's settled down & set up. Great buy.

Cheers! Very pleased with it. Pickups are apparently vintage Kent Armstrong.
