Bargeloob's STA-1

Barge if the neck was faulty sure Ads will replace it. Send him an email as others have said.
Presume you are out of clear spray so you will have to save up for another can but all isn't lost. Will just take a bit longer.
Bummer man.
Not sure if there is a way to take the twist out of the neck, have a word with DB about it

Look I can accept if I stuff something up, I'll admit it, I'll even laugh about it. I'll attempt to fix it or move on. But when I'm expected to reach into my pocket because of some other fools incompetence, I'm calling major bullshit on that.

@Pest "Barge you must be extremely unlucky with Strats"
"Luck", nope. A victim of really crap workmanship, most definitely!

So I took a look at Kim's vid link and thought there might have been a glimmer of hope.
Removed the neck, but upon closer inspection realized it may not be a twist at all. It actually appears like the fingerboard has had the twist sanded into it and appears to slope to the left, from about the 7th fret towards the nut.
The only fix I can see is de-fret and re radius the neck correctly.

Pic 1 - Really hard to see in the picture but the fingerboard slopes down and to the left from about the 7th fret

Pic 2 - With the strings off and looking back the other way......pretty self explanatory.

Pic 3 - Yes the fingerboard IS that far out
