All good mate!

The more I thought about it the knottier potential solutions became. It would be a one shot deal to attempt a fix, as a slip in the fixing may have been curtains for it anyway.

Hypothetically, what would you do FW? pull the frets and re-radius? or chop the fretboard off and replace it?

Something like that Andy, if the board is only a wee bit cockeyed, then you might get away with it. If it’s a long way out, then strip and replace.

If the neck under the board is on the incline though it’s a doorstop, I’m not sure you could true it up without striking other issues with neck width, TRC angles and depths, potential relative angle issues with the headstock also.

The all maple construction on this one kind of obscures the end of the neck so you can’t quite see whats going on at the end there. The heel looks square enough , but I can’t quite make out where neck and fretboard join.

EDIT: The more I look at it the more I am convinced it’s an issue with a lopsided board, rather than the actual neck itself. Hard to tell with the end on shot, unless nitro sands that up some to see the grain differentiation. It would be interesting to see how it looks from the other end, or just a straight Sid on shot of each side of it.

When I get 5 I'll post some more, like to see what you guys think.

Yeah, I've always dreaded working on the heel in case I go too far.
