I have a Jackson DK2M and the problem i have with my guitar is that the strings are really stiff. It's hard especially to do a high e string bend, but other strings are difficult as well to bend. I bough the guitar used and remembered liking it a lot but for some reason decided to get a set up on it, I remember after i got my guitar set up I did not like the feel of it and the strings felt stiffer. I did not change the gauge of the strings or anything. So I decided again to get my guitar set up again by another tech, who I thought had more reputation, he took one spring out of the back of the guitar, and also swapped an .08 instead of a .09. Even after all this the guitar felt the same.
I know this is not how a guitar should feel optimally for bending, as I tried a jackson dinky with emgs at a guitar center and the guitar felt amazing to play, bending was no problem and I could get really nice vibratos. Didn't feel like the action was anything different. Is there a way i can get my guitar playing like that? The last two times, i think the techs tried to lower the action. Is it basically down to having higher action or is there something else in to consideration? playing hair metal stuff with bending is hard with this guitar.
