Neither can I.
I don't think anyone can... The fingerboard is not wide enough.

Oh! You could use Acoustic Strings like the EJ10's and just get a single un-wound string for the G.
So you could use any regular acoustic strings and just get the appropriate gauge smooth string for the G.

And I just did a quick test on my Steinberger and I can bend the G String further than a whole step...
So I guess that there is a big difference between wound and un-wound strings.

I currently have DR Sunbeams 10's.

Nice strings but too rigid for my liking?!
