Sudden fret buzz/neck wobble - help! [Archive]

This may be a dumb question, in which case apologies. I just bought a second hand Jimmie Vaughan Strat, online. It arrived looking pretty well set up (albeit a little low for my tastes), and sounded great. However, after just one week, a terrible fret buzz has developed, and raising the saddles isn't doing anything. If anything, it appears that the neck is slightly wobbly, for want of a better word. I can move it with very little pressure and that puts the tuning totally out. Is this an easily fixable problem or should I pack it up and send it back to the shop?

All help gratefully received. In the meantime, I'm back to the indestructible Tele!

Thanks
