Hi Aiden, maybe the frets are not flat. Try making a small tool that allows you to check the frets, three at a time, like this tool here: http://www.stewmac.com/Luthier_Tools...et_Rocker.html
Also make sure the bridge is not too low, pics always help too!
Hi Aiden we need more information and photo would help. Have you tried raising the bridge saddles ?
If the neck wasn't seated properly when you glued it, it may be sitting a little too high hence strings bottoming out on the higher frets.
Has the nut been changed could be too low ?

Hi Aiden, resize the pictures to 97kb or less and they should upload.
Also the truss rod may need more relief, the neck may have too much back bow.
Don't muck around with the truss rod too much unless you have a bit of experience. Don't force the allen key or you may snap the truss rod

I do have a little experience, not a pro at setting up my guitars

hard to tell from the pics Aiden. The string action looks quite high above 12th fret. Then the bridge looks set quite low.
The neck should have a rake so the nut angles down from the body by a few degrees, does it have a rake angle ?
