Is this crack structural?

This looks to be what a C10 cedar top? You can find those all the time used for about $800. You cannot reset the neck on a classical. Just walk. I sold a mint C10 CE for $799 last year. There are tons of them out there.

Thanks Guys, usually I'll first research such a thing, but yesterday i didn't think to do that. After checking out posts about that topic on Classical Guitar Del Camp forum, it seems it's something that does happen with classical guitars to a certain extent. Often the guitars will stay stable indefinately, but not always. So the sellers description as cosmetic only are highly debatable. It is intersting that with a steel string, that crack is really trouble, but with the different neck joint on a classical, not quite so much. Of course either way it needs fixed. Appreciate the assistance. Lapo

Sure you can.

If the guitar has the same arrangement - dovetail or bolt-on - as a steel string, you do exactly the same thing as for a steel string.

If the guitar has a traditional "Spanish" construction, the neck can be cut off and a joint made, the fingerboard can be planned or shimmed or the back can be "slipped". It is extensive work and the instrument has to warrant the expense.
