Bit hard to tell from the pic, is the wood just compressed or is there a chunk missing? If it's compressed heat/steam will work very well. Rather than trying to describe the process, I would point you to You Tube :)

In my experience this only works for soft woods. Dense woods are harder to compress and therefore harder to decompress

Agreed, it's easier on soft wood but still worth a try.

Thats going to take some epoxy and fine maple wood dust to get back to looking like original. A good luthier should be able to make it invisible/near invisible. If it's a lacquered neck, you're have to have the poly reblown in.
