Ok, take a deep breath ... it'll be ok.
Is the guitar dry? Let it have some normal humidity for a while and see what happens. If the fretboard gets too dry you can get "fret sprout", where the wood shrinks slightly.
Big Poppa (ok, not so Big anymore Poppa) requests... "Please contact customer service prior to posting instrument issues". That is good advice and good forum etiquette.
I'm sure things will be resolved for you.
Just got my new Axis after waiting all day for the UPS man. I am really bummed; the guitar has a neck issue.
My last Axis was perfect; not a thing wrong with it and it was one of the best guitars that I ever owned. This one is beautiful, but the frets (not just the crown-the entire side of the fret) stick out over the bottom and top sides of the neck; they dig into my hand as I slide it up and down the neck while playing. Is this a big problem or a quick fix? I am not a tech and never have set up my guitars myself, but this seems like a big problem to me, like the neck may have been cut too narrow or something.
Any advice is appreciated.

Sorry dude, just a little frustrated. I can see how my original post was taken the way it was, but I meant no harm; I was pointing out a couple of guitars that I know had issues, and we both just got them, so I was wondering if anyone online had noticed a trend or if there was something I was overlooking. I guess I just took your comment as insulting and in my current state of mind was irritated enough to fire back.Just saw this... I take it back, not so sorry for my first comment.
Have fun with your guitars.
Actually I consider your post to be in poor form especially referencing your friends guitar....Where did you buy your guitar...Its winter and climate affects unfinished necks a bunch...You really did cast some aspersions with your first post....Give us a chance to fix it and then talk about it.
as for your friends warped neck please have him contact customer service.....
mix a combination of 70% lemon oil with 30% Viagra and you'll get all the expansion necessary...You might try some lemon oil too but I'd do the humidity first.

And my hand will probably swell when I play.mix a combination of 70% lemon oil with 30% Viagra and you'll get all the expansion necessary...
why'd you sell that one?
I remember you started about 11 threads about it.
Thread titles like....
-can't wait for my axis!
-dealer was 2 weeks late!
-UPS man was late!
-opened to the door to get the guitar!
-guitar is awesome!
-guitar is awesome!
-sold the guitar, getting a BFR!
....and so on
