I'm not a repairmen, or luthier, so please bare with me. I bought a 24" 24f neck from a company that had it as a prototype. Friend was going to help me build the body. Always wanted a 24" 24f guitar.
Anyhow, I've notive not too long after buying it (only paid $50 soo..) that part of the fretboard seems concave or dented in near the bass side ony on the 7th fret. Also, the 7th fret seems a bit "short" in compared to the others. Not sure how much this would effect the playing, but what advice would you guys give someone if they brought it into your place? 24f 24" scale necks, especially to these specs, are impossible to come by.
Here are some pics of what I'm referring to. The red circle indicates the trouble parts.

Thanks for your response. I'm not a luthier, so those are things I'm not skilled at. And I don't want the neck to be any narrower. Will just live with it until I can get a custom made one.
