    also some general shots that show most of the guitar in one shot from the top and the side and either end.

    just put up your imgur tags again and I'll turn them into linked pics again

    So when you drop the bridge down to a more reasonable action you're saying the strings bottom out on about the 5th?
    It's might just be a camera trick but it looks to me like you've got quite a front bow in the neck.

    Its not a front bow, its at what i like it, i have it at .20 mm on a feeler gauge but i tryed higher and the only way is to have the bridge insanely high for no bottom out.

    still a bit hard to see Aiden, but looks like the neck has too much relief ie it's bowing forward. Try and loosen the truss rod a bit so facing the socket lefty = loosey or anti clockwise.
    Most of the pics the string action looks high at 22nd fret so try lowering the bridge a little.
    Hard to see but you haven't put a shim in the neck pocket have you ? hard to see with the black paint.
    The neck will take a few weeks to set in so be patient.
    Did you attempt a fret level ?

    What's at .20 on a feeler gauge? Where did you take the .20 measurement? If your necks not straight that doesn't really mean much.
