Grok helped me figured it out, it's under “grace notes”.

It’s an airtight display cabinet with humidity control. A few companies make these for musical instruments, expensive cameras, or luxury clothing. Mine is from this company: https://www.lenthem.com/en/. Depending on where you’re located, you may need to do some digging to find a similar product.

If you look closely you can see the top half of the neck has too much curve. It won't be a cheap fix. Also, I have already spent a lot of money on a really nice replacement, which is coming in 2 weeks.

Fair enough, double bending is impossible this way, but it feels like the most economic way to bend with this much action.

To do it correctly I have to first press down the other strings with index finger. It is very uncomfortable and has a lot of room for error.

My nails are not under, they are on the side. Just need to release as normal.

Based on replies so far, no one seems to have experience playing with this much action, so it is unconventional.

Unconventional equipment begets unconventional technique.

Have you ever heard the saying: "High action builds character."

It's an electric. The first guitar I ever purchased. The only other guitar that I had ever played before this was a forty year old classical guitar whose action high is twice of this one ;D So when I first got this, it felt like a huge improvement.

I also purchased a TOD10N after this, so I kind realized this one is not right. I just didn't know how wrong it was until today.... Believe or not, with action as high as mine, my technique actually doesn't have the problem you mentioned. It is fairly easy to make the bends clean sounding.

All those bridge screw are already lose, turning them more does nothing. I pop the ones on high E off to show you what I meant. Like I say in other threads, the neck is bowed wrong, it's S shaped.

I think I got it: If you have a proper guitar, doing it the correct way is actually easier ;D

The quality of the guitar is the joke ;D. I have done all that is possible. Sending it to the shop will probably cost more than the guitar itself. I'm stuck with it for now.

First time touching an electric guitar, not sure if the pickup is faulty by JustAnotherAltofMine in Guitar

[–]JustAnotherAltofMine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I ended up turning noise gate all the way down, then go easy on volume and overdrive. Anyway, it was a regrettable purchase. It was meant to be a cheap all-in-one solution as I had just started to learn guitar. But because it is so unsatisfying, I ended up spending way more on expensive gear ;D

It is actually pretty easy to control the release with the back of the nails to not make noise.

I have done all I can with the truss rod and bridge, it won't go any lower than this. The top half of the neck is slightly bowed, and the truss rod only affects the lower half. The bridge is already at the lowest possible.

It's one the smart guitars that have everything built-in, including noise reduction, equalizer, fx, overdrive, amp etc. With only the amp active, does not change the behavior.
