Got a hairline crack. Just at the base of the headstock. Appears to be just in the finish and the binding... Can't really see it in the pics, cuz of the flash... Could be my imagination, but every time I see it, it looks like it's growing... Is it gonna live?

Is this fatal?

Yeah it will probably get a little longer but shouldn't get too "deep" unless you abuse it. This is mostly a cosmetic issue, so don't sweat it.Scott
Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong.

Although it's not a structural issue, it is a sign that there's at least some sort of stress going on there, which would probably be from the case. Pointyheads usually rest in cases with their tips pressing against the back of the case, and once you close the lid, pressure is applied to the tip.
Try padding the area under the neck a bit more to get the tip off the back of the case.
If you've got one of those allen wrench holders on the back with wrenches actually in it, either remove the wrenches or the whole thing.I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood
The most human thing we can do is comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.

Man, I hate to break the bad news to ya, but I'm pretty sure that damage is pretty much non-repairable. Your best bet at this point is to sell it quckly and cheaply to someone like me who can at least use it for parts. Don't wait until it's just all just crumbling apart in small pieces....sell it now while you can still get a few bucks out of it. Just email me, and I can save you a lot of grief.My goal in life is to be the kind of asshole my wife thinks I am.
