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.
