Silhouette string tension

[beej]

There's no gradient on the string- it should have a uniform tension across it from nut to bridge (it might bind and be slightly different on the outsides ... which is why some guitars tend to go out of tune when you bend notes). As soon as you fret a note you shorten the string length. Pressure from your finger bending the string over the fret adds tension (why notes can go sharp if you press too hard). But again, it will be exactly the same on guitars with the same scale length & strings.

What you're describing is 'playability' (or other term to describe why it feels easier to play)- it's easier to fret and bend notes on a guitar with low action, a low nut and the bridge set up a particular way. But that doesn't change the tension of a given string.

If you decrease the tension on a string (loosen it), the note goes flat.

I don't mean a gradient for different tensions at different positions of the string, but different tension increase for same amount/way of bending the string.

If it has the same strings on it as when you got it, try changing them. They may be of a brand you never treid and if they are new they could feel the way you describe.

Only way to know for sure is to put your usual set on and go from there.

Good luck
