New ES-335 - Bendy Neck?

NGD! I finally got my hands on an inspired by Gibson Custom 1962 ES-335. Such a beautiful looking and sounding guitar.

This 60’s slim taper neck is one of thinner necks I’ve played. I’ve noticed that the strings bend quite a bit out of tune just from pressure from my hand when playing. The guitar is even quite sensitive to my playing angle, for example if I lean back, the strings all go sharp.

I’ve owned 30+ guitars in the past 10 years or so and have never noticed this. Is this common with these thinner necks with a higher fret neck joint or did I get a lemon?
