Question: Majesty neck warped. Do I buy another?

I’ve owned a majesty for almost two years now. Definitely my favorite guitar to play, however, I have had some serious hardware issues. The first Arctic Dream Majesty I bought new got a hairline paint crack after owning it for only 2 weeks. The replacement I got for it had a neck that never seemed right, but I just dealt with it until recently when the issue became very much a problem. The Neck warped so that you would have a bow on the lower strings and a hump on the higher strings. Also, when you sited the neck, you would see that it was straight from the body till around the 17’th fret which is where the hump or bow would start (depending on how you adjusted the trus rod). Fortunately, I bought Guitar Center’s Pro Coverage and after verifying my issue, they are sending me a check for the original purchase price 18 months after original purchase. All that said, I want another Majesty, but want to know if I just happened to get two lemons or is there a theme going on here. My guitars never leave my home and my EBMM JP15 and PRS Custom barely need any neck adjustment ever. The Majesty on the other hand suffered extreme seasonal changes.

long and short. Is the Majesty neck design flawed?
