I emailed the seller and he doesn't know what model it is. I wonder if this is too far gone to be a worthwhile project. He's flexible on the price. The pictures are reversed, so it's right handed, and it appears to be a shallow bowl if that's the body in the background behind the neck he's holding up.

The fret markers look like it might have been one of the DCS-247S Longneck models. I wonder if the O' factory would attempt to repair it?...

from the pics, and my previous experiences with some pretty rough restorations and rebuilds done at mother, and others "written off as kindling and plastic" looks like toast to me... the tops toast, the neck's toast.... but as a bflg project.. gorilla glue can work wonders.... won't be pretty, but you might get it playable.
