My son had a little accident with his acoustic and the headstaock broke off. Anybody know if and where I could find another neck for this guitar.

If it's a clean cut, you can glue it on with Titebond and a couple clamps. A new neck from a supplier like Allparts will be $160+. Can you take a picture of the damage?

I am in complete agreement with edutainment, while a lot of Oscar's are nice sounding guitars I am not sure that it would be worth replacing the neck.
However it seems like a great project to see if you can't do some home repair your self and Titebond will work really nicely for you along with some clamps and like he said post some pics and most of us will guide you through what is really a semi painless fix, if broken cleanly it should be even easier.Looking forward to some pictures.Ship

Yeah I don't argue the fact that's a lot just to replace it. I wasn't sure about prices on neck until I saw that site.That's more than double what I paid for the guitar.

I tried gluing it, don't have titebond but I used some loctite super glue then c-clamped it for about a day and a half. I got the strings on and tune it and so far the headstock is holding on. It was a diagonal break from under the nut on the back side up through to just below the lowest set of tuning keys on the front side. Hopefully it will hold together. It was easy to tune and is holding it's key. Crossing my fingers. Not a big loss but it's a nice little guitar and sounds really good. I can always get another one down the road if it's not gonna last.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.
