What on earth did you do? Did you have a pro look at and give you a quote to fix it? A good tech/luthier can fix a great any things.
Did you try getting in touch with SBMM directly?

It was an accident, trying to file down the high e side sharp ends and took off to much and now my frets are crap and the high e keeps slipping off and the frets are worn down to almost nothing from years of use, at the very least it would need a re fret, and thats about $350, thats more than i paid for the guitar. I might just try to find a used one in real good shape and just take my set of axis pups and drop them in. Or .... I could put that money away and start the long wait to get my first real ball! I would love to have a real axis or evh. Right now my no 1 is the peavey usa wolf i just got, its great!, but i need a ball to or sbmm too.

Just sent Brian my address for the neck. Class act! No charge and, i will say it was fun sawing the headstock off my broken neck, because he said its company policy to either send in the old neck or destroy it and send a pic of the decapitated neck! Lol! They are a great company, so classy and easy to deal with and really value the customer, thanks SBMM, the best!

Very cool!
Hopefully I never need to request something like that, however it's great to know if someone can help they will!
