Should I be worried if I can feel the stunk stripe on the neck? It slightly moves like very little. Is it something that can be repaired or should I just buy a new neck?

The whole thing? or just the top? You'll need a glue syringe with a needle point, a little watered down Titebond, a few small blocks and a c-clap.

It was just the top

A section or the whole thing? It there any other cracks in the wood or finish?

Just at a section of the stripe

Don't buy a new neck! Try tapping the high part back down. If that doesn't work, sand it flush.

After you ruin your neck because you used a hammer and didn't apply glue, THEN you can buy a new neck.

Got it. This is all new to me so I didn't know if it got to a point where its cost to much to get work done on it or not

When I tap it down, it goes back to how it was before tapping it. And what would you recommend to sand it down with?

In that case the glue has come loose. You could glue it in again if you have the equipment to work with hide glue. If not, have a professional do it or go with sanding. You can just use sandpaper but since it's a Fender neck (glossy) you might want to polish it up again afterward. I'll advise you that gluing it back in is the better long-term solution.

That's good to know. I appreciate the feedback. I'll just get a professional to do it since I don't have any equipment to do that since that would be the long-term solution

Sounds good. You'll still probably be spending less than if you bought a new neck.

Good even easier... inject glue at the top. Hold neck vertical for a few minutes. Clamp and lay flat. The skunk stripe is the truss rod route so you dont want it to open. Not bad just alot of finish work.
