Has a pup too. Big repaired crack on top tgst goes right up to edge of soundhole.

Is $349 a good price? It played easy being a classical.

Is the crack along side or extending from the end of the neck? is there possibly a second crack on the other side of the neck (may be harder to see)? at the end of the crack at the sound hole, is there any distortion (i.e. is the sound hole still perfectly round)? Is it with or against the grain?

If it is alongside the neck, or extending from the end of the neck, it is possible that the neck block has moved, a serious structural issue. Most likely reasons for a classical to do that is either guitar was overheated, or at some point in the past, the guitar had steel strings on it.
