My 15th fret is high at the 3rd string and low at the 2nd string.  All my other frets are perfect.  This is a Warmoth pro neck with an ebony fretboard.  What should I do?
 
Loose frets aren't uncommon in ebony, its some dense stuff.  Try reseating it with a plastic faced hammer (hit square, not with the corner of the face or it may dent the fret).  Another method is to spread the load over a few frets with a piece of metal so they come out even.  Worse comes to worse a spot level would fix it, but that's still a newer Warmoth fret job. 

Can you get a piece of paper to slide under the center of the crown, feeler gauge style?
