... which may or may not mean bending strings. I get nearly a three-fret bend thanks to light strings. Not that I'll go there all that often, but it's nice to know I can If I want.
This is on single strings, though. Double strings will offer more resistance. Also, bending double strings may put them out of tune with each other. Indeed, that's what led me to single strings in the first place. My first electric, a Gibson EM 150, gave me fits with this, so I strung it singly. Kind of disappointing, as I really wanted that jingle jangle Byrds-y sound, but the trade-off was the string bending, enabling more bluesy and rock riffing.
Nice looking ax, by the way. Adjusting the saddle heights might help balance your relative string volume.
