Strange tuning issue

[Roubster]

So yesturday I took off the neck from my Silo, because I thought that the high E string was too close to the edge of the fingerboard. I thought that maybe the neck was a little shifted or something, but I could not move it any other way than it was when I put it back on. So anyway, I restrung the geetar, but I made the high E too long, so like an A$$ I took it off. I already cut it to size tho, and it came out of the hole and had some hard time trying to get it back. So I got it on, but every single time I bend the high E more than a half step, it goes Flat about a whole step, which is kind of ridiculous. All the other strings seem to be fine tho. I'm guessing I should just put on another E string eh?

Any ideas?

Sounds like the E is slipping out of the locking tuner. Either it's not tight enough or the string isn't long enough for that to be effective. Done that before myself.

Just put on a new string. You should be fine.

Yea, I'm pretty sure that's it. I just needed some comfort, by looking at someone say that as well lol. But the lockig tuner was tight, and every time the string went flat, I of course tuned it again and the string is at the STARTING points of winding around the post. The other weird thing is that it doesnt go out of tune when I use the tremolo. I even tested that by diving the trem as much as I could and that was fine.

It's only liable to slip with tension, so diving on the bar shouldn't put it out of tune. So yeah, I think that's it.

I take it you did the neck bolts up correctly?

is it just the high e?
