First of all: HNGD!

I love the optics and I have heard great things about the Caparison build quality, but I have a question: The string height above the body (i.e. distance between body surface and strings) appears to be very high. Also the neck seems to have a significant angle. The question is: Why is that? Is the Floyd's block longer than usual so it had to be setup this way?

The neck is not parallel with the body, it is angled back slightly for a more natural and comfortable feel when playing. Many jackson guitars are the same. You get used to it pretty fast and it is a much nicer feel when standing up and playing. Check out their website for more on the neck angles

It's a matter of taste. Me personally, I would rather go for a recessed bridge and a low string height above the body because it kinda feels better for my right hand.
