The crack goes from the nut to half way between the first sand second frets.
Should I worry about this? Fix it? Bury it?

Is it a Gibson? They are known for having removable headstocks.
and of course the frequencies at which the strings resonate are not at all affected by the material that they are anchored to and is vibrating all around them. How could all instrument makers be so stupid as to waste their time with wood for several thousand years when they could have just asked you for your opinion?I would hope Gibson does better transitioning on the binding.
But the removable headstock is a small price to pay for using the best tone wood, because we all know the tone comes from the wood when you have your guitar playing through an amp, and the pickups are picking up the vibration of the strings errrr... I mean wood.![]()

Pathogen - you would think that might be the case with electric guitar, but the wood definitely makes a big difference. Otherwise an HSS Strat would sound just like a Les Paul Custom.
If it had the same scale length, the same pickups, the same pickup placement, the same pickup height, the same frets, the same nut, the same bridge. It would.
No, perhaps you're right, all those things don't matter, wood makes all the difference, and what kind of neck joint the guitar has.

Way to be as black and white as possible, while simultaneously having what amounts to a contradictory opinion of what affects the output signal of an electric guitar.
In case you don't understand what that means, if you think that the frets, nut and bridge affect the tone, is that where it ends? Only the exact thing that contacts the string? If true, you might need some help with your understanding of physics.
I don't have any concrete opinion of how much things have an effect on the tone of an electric guitar, but you can be damn sure that almost everything does to a certain extent.
Edit: As has been said a bunch of times, yes it's fixable, and even until you get it fixed your guitar should be just fine.
You are wrong mate. A lot of the physics tat apply to acoustics also apply to electric guitars. It makes no difference to builders what a customer wants the guitar making out of. The labour costs are the same. Strings do not resonate totally independently of the substrate. If what you say was correct, all guitars with the same pickups and strings would sound identical. They dont.Electrics haven't been made for thousands of years, and it's because they are stupid, and think what applies to acoustics naturally applies to electrics because it's still a guitar and everything works the same, right? Electric guitars have not been perfected for thousands of years, and Gibson makes them more or less the same way when they were first commercialized. It also makes good marketing. They are out to sell instruments, as long as people buy into the wood marketing, manufacturers will continue making these claims.If it had the same scale length, the same pickups, the same pickup placement, the same pickup height, the same frets, the same nut, the same bridge. It would.

Innit!Here we go again, lol.
