More of a bow on the treble side of the neck

So, on my MIM Fender Big Block P there is more of a bow on the treble side of the neck compared to the bass side. What caused this? Is my neck twisted? Is it repairable?

Nobody has any input?

I have the exact same problem on a 93 Ibanez, and have just been dealing with it, I'm sure someone with some better luthier skills has some better imput...

Thing about it is, it really doesn't effect playability. I know it's there and it bugs me. So, I want to fix it.

It's the beginning of the end, I fear.

If its only slight, and not affecting playability, I wouldnt worry about it. But yes it is a slightly twisted neck then even so. Id have a qaulified repair person check it out. To the best of my knowledge, twisted necks are not fixable and must be replaced if its enough to cause noticeable change in playability etc. Does fender have lifetime warranty on necks? If so might want to explore that route after tech confirms its got a twisted neck.

great. I wanted to get rid of the bass since I really don't like the tone. I'll take it in and see if it is fixable. Hope so, I need to fund a G&L SB-2.
