G'day mate, I have built 2 Tele's and both had the neck sitting too high in the neck pocket by around 7 mm and they looked similar to yours in those photos. No amount of tweaking did much at all and ended up very carefully sanding down the base of the neck pocket to drop the fret board height where neck joins the body. This also made it much easier to intonate and also drop the action to a more comfortable height. Raising the bridge saddles was not the way to go as it ended up with the bridge saddle screw ends sitting above string height and interfering with playing or palm muting.

Cheers, Waz
