Epi Les Paul To Play Like Fender Strat?, Cant get my epi lp loose like my fender feels Options

[Georgia Rocker]

Let me describe it a little better, My epi lp is so tight trying to play from bends and vibro that it tears up my hands. I have an american strat that I play as well and it is so much easier to do bends. I have played for some time and dont feel its a weak finders and hands issue. I don't know alot about different guitars but the epi is twice as hard to bend with. My string are tuned down a half step. I have upgraded the epi pickups to 59 classics and I love the sound of it but love the playability of the strat. Is this normal between the 2 or is there something I can do to the epi. since I upgraded the pickups is there something else I need to upgrade also to get the most out of the pickups. The epiphone LP lite is the model.

I just read Shuma13 topic about the string guage and bends, I wil check the strings tonight when I get home, that maybe some of my problem. Any hardware changes that might need to be done as well?
