Much of the sound quality achieved by electric Guitars (including tone, resonance and sustain) are achieved not only by the strings but by the quality of materials used in the guitar itself. The quality of it's build is also taken into account. Cracks in the body will cause a noticeable drop in sound quality. As well as this, cracks can obviously increase the chance of your guitar breaking or snapping.

How do you stop cracks on electric guitar?
Cracks can spread. You should take the guitar to a proffessional, they will probably seal it somehow with some special glues or sprays. The area in which you store your guitar may have a unsuitable humidity level. If so then make sure the humidity in than room is about 45-55%. Humidity makes the wood expand but the wood will not expand at the same rate of the finish, this will cause cracks. You may have also dropped the guitar somehow. I recommend you use straplocks and carry your guitar in a foam padded hard guitar case (absorb blows better) or just a normal hard case.

When looking, make sure you look in the sound hole and check out the braces inside the guitar for cracks. Look at the back of the neck up near the headstock for cracks, and look at the headstock for cracks. If there are cracks in these areas you do not want the guitar.Look at the bridge from many angles. (The bridge is the area where you attach the strings to the body of the guitar). Look to see if it is peeling away from the body of the guitar. Also, look at the body of the guitar just before the bridge of the guitar. Sometimes this area will warp or bend into the guitar. The guitar is still OK but you could have some tuning issues with the guitar.Put the body of the guitar up to your face and look down the neck. Make sure there is no warping of the neck to the right, left, front or back. If there is, you do not want the guitar, no matter what the price.Play the guitar and listen for dead spots. If there are areas of the guitar that the notes do not play then there are dead spots. There is most likely a bend in the neck and you do not want the guitar.Make sure the tuning pegs work. If they do need to be replaced it is not expensive and they are easy to change.Check the action. The action of the guitar is how high the strings are set above the fret board. If the strings are too high then the guitar will be very hard to play and no fun to learn on. If it is too low then the guitar will not play properly. The action should be comfortable for you.There are more things to look for but if you use this as a basic guide to buying your beginner guitar you should be fine.

Can you still learn how to play a guitar even if it has a crack?
Kind of depends on the crack. Most cracks occur in the face or top of the guitar. They can be caused by the wood becoming too dry or by mechanical stress. Small cracks tend to grow larger.. They should be repaired. Normally, a repairman will properly humidify the guitar to close the crack as much as possible, then apply a penetrating glue like "super glue" to the crack itself and also a patch of thin hardwood underneath, where it won't show. Some cracks are self-limiting, as if they are between two braces inside the guitar. Best to have a technician look at the instrument.
