neck action is pissing me off
i have a crappy guitar that ive done up to look like evh frankenstrat
(black white and red)its done but.......the neck action sucks donkeys
ive lowered it to what i prefer and its buzzes on the higher frets
ive highered it a little and its good but the action is too effin hard to push down on ive messed with the truss rod ive even tried a neck shim
and nothings working oh and the obvious one i should of mentioned first was the bridge saddles 
any suggestions other than break the shit out of it?

With a lower quality guitar, probably the only thing you can do is grin and bear it. It'll get easier eventually, but I sure as shit wouldn't want that.

To be honest in this day and age, no one should be saddled with a crap guitar. Even if you only had $100-$200 dollers there are guitars out there that play really well, especially if you go secondhand. Dean's low-end stuff, Ibanez RG321MH, Jackson JS-series. I'd chuck that piece of junk and go check out ebay.
