    Maybe take some photos of the fretboard with the steel ruler running along all the frets.

    seems correct then I guess...

    Either that or the neck angle is too great and the bridge is set too high

    awaiting input from DB or Gavmeister....

    Yes, room needs a clean (don't worry, nobody noticed it on my bass video ). We need more photos Aiden, this is really confusing as by what you are saying it should be fine!
    How did you make sure the neck was dead straight BEFORE checking the fret heights? If the neck was not dead straight beforehand it can affect how level the frets are.

    If the neck is dead straight and the frets are level, its a nut issue.

    How have you check the neck and frets? Just by eye or something?

    A picture of the nut would assist. On my LP-JR the stock nut came so high it was comical

    What city are you in Aidan? Maybe we can get one of our resident experts to have a look at the guitar.
    Cheers,

    Looking at the pics it looks like your neck has a front bow, but that could be my eyes..... Spent the last ten minutes trying to find my glasses so I can see properly.....

    Go through the suggestions mentioned, you may find the problem..

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
