The break:
How it fits together:
As you can see, the truss rod is untouched as the break is well above it. We'll see how it goes. At worst, I've wasted twenty quid.
In all seriousness though, good luck with the repair. Keep us informed how you get on!
I'd be tempted to reshape that headstock for fun. After all, it's only £20 if you fudge it up. There's a few tutorials on Croxguitars on how to do that.
What's the rest of it looks like? I've had a few Epi LPs and generally they're quite good. A decent wiring loom and pups and you'll have a cracking sounding guitar.
When I did a project a while back, I used 'Gorilla' glue which goes rock solid. No doubt the pros will have better suggestions - but make sure you use a really good clamp. Some of the cheaper ones seem to 'slip' under pressure - I've got some Irwin ones that are unbelievably strong.
Hope you're going to keep this updated - I love these sorts of threads. I love guitar projects (even if I've stuffed up a fair few projects in the past!!).

Or, nail a 2x4 to the front and the back. Easy.
I love mucking about with knackered guitars. Perhaps I should open an eBay shop.
