I can't tell if it's the frets on a brand new Dean cheap electric, or the fingerboard that give me a rough feeling when I bend the strings. Any advice?

Three different ideas come to mind: 1) If the fingerboard isn't glossy (looks like bare wood) and looks/feels dry, try nourishing it with some coconut oil or lemon oil. Apply with a cloth and wipe off the excess some time later. 2) Change to Elixir strings. They may be more expensive, but they last much longer so they're cheaper in the long run. Their special coating will "lubricate" your playing in ways you never thought possible. 3) Tune down a bit. I know it doesn't seem that helpful, but tuning the whole guitar down to D will be easier, and sound nice! Or maybe the guitar just has crappy frets, but that would be weird for a brand new guitar.
