Any players using light or extra light gauge flatwounds?

Perhaps they come unwound or otherwise fail when the strings are bent two or three steps as one would do on a Les Paul or Stratocaster.

I can 100% confirm that isn't the case. They are quality and withstand the multi step bends or I couldn't use them.
