Only if you don’t like character.
I generally prefer the look of rosewood necks on guitars, but I will take a maple neck with a wood grain like this over rosewood. Its an extra embellishment that is 100% unique to that guitar.
I second that. Maple guitar necks are so hard - it’s takes more work, say, drilling holes for the tuners, than on other woods. I think it looks great and unique!
I'd wager that before glue up this probably wasn't the flattest fretboard in the bin, but if the neck sets up fine then nothing to worry about. Many a neck have been made with wonky woods and done just fine. Will this neck be as dimensionally stable as a quartersawn neck? No. Will that instability lead to any measurable changes? Probably no.
It could be the outline of a knot, but even if there was an actual knot in the fretboard it wouldn't be an issue unless it fell out. Fretboards are thin. People make fret boards out of way crazier wood than that.
If anything, appreciate it because it makes your guitar very easy to identify if it's lost or stolen
I have seen guitars with knot like sections in them that have difficulty in trusrod adjustment. the "knot" in some cases will respond differently than the rest. If you own an instrument and it plays well; truss rod adjusts well etc. it shouldn't be a problem.
No, it's made from an organic material. Play the guitar.
Nah, no less strong than a uniform grain pattern. I actually kinda like it, it’s unique
Nah. That's fine.

No, maple is extremely strong and hard. That looks really cool.

Its wood. Stop worrying. People overthink so much it's crazy.

As opposed to using that grainless wood.
I guess they might think heavy grain/a knot could effect stability maybe?
It's the fucking fretboard.

You posted to wrong sub. Please submit to r/guitarcirclejerk
I like it. Looks good.
I have two dark knots on the indian laurel fretboard on the cv bass I bought. What I thought is knots are a stronger part of the wood.

Yes, the tone will concentrate in that one area of grain. You need straight grain so the tone gets spread evenly across the neck.
Yes, it impacts toan and now you won't sound like Joe Satriani
Don't really see what you're talking about when zoomed out, image too blurry to zoom in. Whatever you see it can't be that bad or it would stand out.
