New Stingray 5H with crooked neck/bridge. Fixable?

New Stingray 5H with crooked neck/bridge. Fixable?

I bought a brand new 2020 Stingray 5H from a seemingly reputable dealer (thousands of high ratings). They were nice to communicate with and shipped fast.

It sounds great when I play on it, however, the g-string seems way too close to the edge of the fretboard (like more than Stingray’s normally are). It gets worse the higher up the neck you go. It makes me think the bridge and/or neck are just not aligned properly. I can easily pull the string off the frets the higher up the neck I go. I’m attaching some images that aren’t perfect, but give you an idea.

Please let me know if this is fixable, or if it’s merely a dud that I need to return.
