I haven't done anything else than checking nut since last edit

| Mar 13 at 2:11 | comment | added | Todd Wilcox | When you say "the action is for sure below 2mm", do you mean the high E string is less than 2 mm away from the 12th fret? It's possible for the action to be too low, perhaps that is causing some issues. If you really can't move the saddle closer to the neck then something else is wrong. If you're new to guitar setups, you'll either have to keep working on it until you figure it out or take it to a professional. | |

Added clarification from comments to question title, grammar (except for last sentence)

| Mar 12 at 23:04 | comment | added | Edward | Also, have you had this same issue with 2 different E strings? | |
| Mar 12 at 23:03 | comment | added | Edward | How does the action, saddle placement, nut placement, and intonation of your E string compare to the B string? | |

| Mar 12 at 18:29 | comment | added | gingerbreadboy | a poorly cut nut will give you intonation problems which the saddle won’t fix. A good guitar tech will sort this for 50 bucks. | |

| Mar 12 at 13:38 | comment | added | Andy Bonner | Does "gradually goes flat" mean "The open string is in tune, but the higher on the fretboard you go, the flatter the pitch?" Please edit to clarify. | |
| Mar 12 at 13:21 | comment | added | Jason P Sallinger | Also please give us an idea how you are using the guitar. How often? What kind of strumming? | |
| Mar 12 at 12:18 | comment | added | Tim | E1 is a bit ambiguous. I guess you mean the thin E string. What guitar, what gauge string. What's the action like? We need more detail, please. | |
