Bought New Guitar... and there's a CRACK!

cool HBG, so is this a totally different axe for the same price ?

Yeah man.
completely new axe!
last serial number(with crack) was 117S
this one is 120S. i made sure of that right away, just incase they happened to repair the crack.
no cracks, no overspray, maybe a little rubber scuff from the headstock resting on a wall stand or something.
but other than that, perfect!!! :)

now all i have to do is work out where to get it signed by steel panther and im laughing!!
