I just won this on ebay. I'm hoping it turns out to be functional as is. Opinions?

Well it is a player's grade instrument in a rare finish.
The neck crack - from someone who clearly did not know how the old style truss rods worked - seems to be the main issue. But if it is stable it should still be playable.
It could be restored to "as new" condition by a RIC skilled luthier - but all those bangs and nicks give it a vintage charm. My two cents anyway.
Congrats on winning it.

Non US bids were blocked, otherwise I would have bid. Despite the crack, it has a great vibe. I would tidy the crack finish and make the frets playable and enjoy it. Nice, (begrudging) congrats

I got sidetracked and forgot to bid -- and I'm envious!
Nice win, that is a sweet 330 in a rare color at a great price. I'll buy the neck-cracked ones at half price all day long.
