If this was a one time deal I would have happily sucked it up, accepted the replacement neck offer and never looked back. Unfortunately this is the second kit in a row that I'd poured my heart and soul into only to find I'd wasted all that time, money and effort for naught, so one could possibly be forgiven for being a bit upset (and I am upset). My stubborn nature won't allow me to suck it up a second time, and I'm probably cutting off my nose to spite my face but I'm standing on principles.
Nige I know you are a guy who plays a straight bat with these things and you simply say what is on your mind.

I think I said it previously, maybe not as well, I think this one is a manufacturing fault and as such, regardless of the progress of the build, should be covered by Pitbull.

If I thought I could pull frets and not do further damage, I'd offer to re radius the fretboard and get it right for you (I think I could get the fretboard right, but I've never pulled frets...)
