On my past two acoustic guitars, I cannot seem to bend my G-string a full step. For instance I cannot bend the 7th fret up a full step to an E. I have to almost break the string I bend it so hard, and even then it doesn't yield a full step.

Any suggestions?

The first guitar was an old 1970's Yamaha acoustic with extra light strings. The second one I have now is a Taylor 414-CE with medium Elixirs on it.
