So, I bought a MM Majesty (7 string)(used) from a local shop.
The guitar is basically Mint,except for one thing that is the High E string.
As i already said it's too close to the edge and when playing,maybe doin slides or fast runs it becomes really hard because i have to keep an eye on not "falling",and plus i can't basically do a vibrato.

Here are some photos

Yours looks pretty close to being down the centre compared to the OP.

Regardless, he has already indicated that he has taken it to the store he bought it from where they looked at it. They are apparently sending it to the factory for a closer inspection.

It does, doesn’t it? Might suggest the saddles being misaligned or perhaps the neck isn’t set properly? I thought initially it might be with the nut, but I am not so sure of that. I don’t think the neck would have shifted as previously suggested as wouldn’t the finish on the back of the neck crack? It is so difficult to really determine the issue based on a series of photos. Different parts of the guitar. Different camera angles if only slightly. And different distances. Not one of the whole guitar. It is really too hard to really see a definitive issue just on the photos alone, especially with my eyes. I don’t doubt the OP has an issue. Just not really possible to know what it would be without someone physically inspecting it. If it is indeed going back to the factory, I am interested in knowing what the issue and remedy, if any, is. It is a pre-owned guitar and is being shipped overseas back to SLO. Someone at Music Man would have looked at this and likely photos from the store before providing a RA# so that it can be sent back to them so they can have a closer look.

If that's a neck issue, I don't think that it occured over time.
I would assume instead some issue coming from production, maybe due to CNC machine problems (it can happen...).
I mean that, if that's the case, that neck has been not placed correctly and that's not correctly centered.
Hard to believe, I know...and we're talking about Music Man, not about Ciccioformaggio Guitars.
But you never know...we're humans and we can fail.
CNC machines, sometimes, can fail as well.
In any case, I assume the best is to wait for CS inspection and evaluations.
