"your welcome to come view it
But as its all stung up I wouldn't be happy with it being taken apart
I've had loads of offers on this so I'm not desperate to sell
But I can promise you it's just a paint crack
I'll send a photo with it now
Feel free to make me a cash offer and I'll see what I can work out"

More likely it could have cracked/split the wood underneath the paint work and the finish has just cracked in it's own way. If you look hard enough you can see faint black marks within the crack but I can't say for sure. If you took the neck off you'd be able to assess it better. A crack that severe must have been caused by something. It looks to start at the bottom of the neck pocket which is routed out so weaker and more prone to damage.
Too many red flags for me, bad grammar for one:

Without taking the neck off and inspecting it, he can't promise you shit.
In my pictures you may be able to see that that there is a thick clear sealer coat under the transparent blue in the paint that came away. The body still has a bit of a sheen with the topcoat / sealer removed so its not back to bare wood suggesting that there is a delamination of the different layers of paint. This would help explain why the top coat has cracked open.
The green guitar does look very similar to the way the blue one was damaged although the crack as it goes under the neck may be in the wood also.
