Help: Question about Axis… maybe FR trems in general…

I recently picked up an Axis on eBay at what I thought was a steal. It arrived it much poorer condition than described in the listing. I will snap some pictures and post but first I want to describe it and see what you all think.
First it has neck pocket cracks on both sides. These are much longer than I’ve seen on any other guitars previously. The second, and most concerning, is that the back of the neck, where the locking nut screws go through has stress cracks on both sides and between the screws. Here are other cosmetic issues but those I can live with. I am worried primarily that his thing has seen some serious abuse. Any thoughts? I’ve only ever owned two FR equipped guitars and neither had these issues.
