I might even consider going lighter than 7 for the high G since it's still kind of a high note. Now 8 might be perfectly fine, but 7 would be much safer.
Hm.. That's really weird. I play tens (10-59) on my RG1527 (25.5" scale) and on my RG7EXFX2 (27" scale) and the feel is COMPLETELY different. The RG1527 feels really loose and it's very easy to bend the strings, while the RG7EXFX2 feels really really tight and it's very difficult to bend the strings. Personally I like that increase in tension and it makes light bending sound pretty cool, but I can't do the bending up 2 or 3 steps like I can on my 1527.

yeah, I ran into the same thing with my 8527/1077. but even though you cant do all the bending you could on the 1527, that longer scale just adds that something sweet to the mix, i swear, lol.
