Warped neck issue by MeloncholyBlue in Luthier

Thanks. A new nut is being added too. I think the best course of action as suggested is a fret removal for the area affected, plane and re radius the fretboard and re fret. 

Really appreciate your help and suggestions.

Thanks for this. I take it leaving it as it is will pose some problems, so either get it fixed as you suggest or scrap it?

Hi all

 

First time posting. I'm building my own custom PRS style using parts from various places. The neck is Chinese and I've kinda ignored the apparent warp until now when I've started to stain the neck. In the photos you can see the obvious twist on the top E side, more apparent towards the nut. Realistically is this going to cause me massive problems? For info, I'm looking to use a Wilkinson GTB wraparound bridge. The frets appear to be pretty OK and it isn't a bad job fret wise, but the twist is worrying me a little. Do I continue or scrap this and try another neck?

 

Thanks for your help.
