Broken neck Ibanez???
I bought an Ibanez fairly recently with a broken neck that was repaired professionaly-i can see where it was repaired but that's about it-it plays and sounds great-should i be concerned in future re.playability and if the neck should come apart?

If repaired professionally then the used glue will have a stronger bond then the wood fibers themselves. As such there's nothing to fear just make sure you don't leave it in direct sunglight as you wouldn't do with any guitar.
Heat weakens the glue, not regular temperatures but real heat. Ludwig

It's definitely possible that this could cause problems in the future. However, it's also likely that it will be just fine.
Hard to say. And that's the risk you take purchasing a guitar with this kind of repair.

Keep us posted how it pans out. I personally might consider a guitar with a damage like that, but only if it was a truly irreplaceable instrument, like vintage, super-rare etc. Ibanez - not so much. But that's just me.

I agree, if properly repaired, it should be a non-issue. For years Taylor has been gluing the headstock to the top of their guitar necks, and state that the joint is stronger than a one piece neck and heastock. They even had a video that demonstrated that fact.
