I think maybe your hands are weak?


What does this have to do with comparing the tension of two different guitars?

It's not that my hands are weak but that I have arthritis in them.I've always used 8-38s as do Billy Gibbons and Tony Iommi and John Lennon and Jimi Hendrix.I've used 8s because I do(or once did)extreme bends and only 8s have enough flexion to permit it.Anyway hand strength or lack thereof wouldn't make one guitar harder to do bends on than another.
