Interesting on the strings. Over time have they retained your favor? The bending tension sounds interesting and might be helpful. I hit the strings pretty hard when playing my songs. Much lesss so on some session work and acoustic that I do.
Currently, I am running regular EB Regular slinky on my Teles. John Pearse on my acoustics. I'd like something different for my Les Paul (preferably a little darker). I set up my own guitars these days (with a little repair / setups for others). I also have built a few guitars. So I don't break strings often due to challenges with the guitar. However I pull things out of tune on non-hardtails. And slide the bridge on my archtop. (I said I have a heavy touch at times). I despise coated strings. The tone dampening does not appeal.
I notice substantial differences in technique and quality in acoustic string brands. However I haven't seen the same care / innovation in electric strings. I will try your suggestion.
