Adjust the pickup height, or lower the action on the high E. All my strats actions taper down drasticaly on the treble side.

sorry i meant the pickup height not action...im using a couple of amps, a polytone a mesa and if i have to go to a gig on the tube an aer.
the spacing of the polepieces is way off...not sure if that has much to do with it...

5) One string is dull or dead. This indicates either a dud string or a dead magnet. These are a rare
occurrence but does happen occasionally.
Test: The strength of the magnet can be tested by comparing with other magnets using a small wand
made from a cut-off from a wound E string. Holding the wand at one end in your fingers put the other
end onto the top of the magnet and flick it away from the magnet. In this way you can get a good idea
of how strong the magnets are just by feeling how much force is required to make the string depart
from the top of the magnet. Compare various magnets and see if the suspect one is less strong than
any others that are behaving satisfactorily.
o Solution: Fit a new string or contact us to arrange re-magnetization as the case may be.
