    Just remember, sitting a straight edge on the frets isn't always a sign of "perfect alignment" either if the frets are not level, hence the reason a notched straight edge is used.

    I checked the fret level by putting a straight edge across 3 frets at a time and wiggled it to see if any were not level, their all level.

    Well, you can't accurately check if the frets are level with a one metre rule. You need a fret rocker like this

    or something similar that will only touch three frets at a time.
    Second thing is getting the neck perfectly straight ain't going to fix anything instantly (it's not a bad starting point though), you need a small amount of relief (front bow). Setting up a guitar is a series of steps which need to happen in sequence.

    Read through Gavin's setup guide and go step by step and you should end up in a satisfactory place.

    Sounds to me like you already know what you're doing and have quite an in depth knowledge in regards to guitar setup. Not quite sure why you're asking for help:P
