In 20 yrs, I cannot recall that happening to me.  Many things go into it obviously. Your style, how long you've played and how often, the guitar, the strings, etc. 11's generally work better on a shorter scale neck, like on a Les Paul. I've never used them on anything but my LP. On the LP, 11s feel like 10s. When you bend with your ring finger, do you reinforce the bend with your index and middle fingers?
