There's nothing wrong with my math. Don't just say something must be wrong because something doesn't feel the same. And I never claimed that equivalent string tension requires the same bending force. In fact, I mentioned nothing about bending, so how would you even know that the tension's not the s...

So you know that age old "wisdom" about 9s on Strats and 10s on Les Pauls for equivalent tension? That's complete BS and the math does not support it. 10s on Les Paul has 16% more tension than 9s on a Strat. Meanwhile, 9.5s on a Les Paul has about 5% more tension than 9s on a Strat. So wh...
