Guitar Strings Feel Tight

guitar strings feel tight
Really hard to bend on guitar? cheap maestro and squier ones?

i have a squier bullet and i recently bought a maestro

http://www.gibson.com/en-us/Divisions/Maestro/Electrics/Double%20Cutaway/

but for some reason one string on the maestro the g string is super easy to bend and it feels really loose but its in tune. every other string feels tighter than it and hard to bend i mean i gotta use so much force it almost hurts. why? should all strings feel loose?

Although this could be attributed to your guitars scale length..

(Gibson’s have shorter scale lengths than Fenders. Making them easier to bend on but a bit looser feeling strings)

But the problem is probably the strings you are using.. If they feel to heavy for you try using a lighter gauge string. They usually come with .9′s but if that’s to hard to bend on try using .8′s.
