Bought i nice ecoustic guitar a short time ago. Sounded excellent for the
first few weeks and have been keeping it in tune with an electric tuner.
Now i seem to find it impossible to tune the high E string correctly. It
almost sounds too high pitched and makes every cord i play sound awful. The
string also now goes out of tune very quickly. This is exactly the same
problem i had with a previous cheap guitar. Though the electric tuner says
it is tuned the stick waves about as if it can't quite decide. Is it
something i'm doing wrong when tuning?

This issue has been posted a few times already. I would replace the string
first and see if that fixes the problem.

Yeah try replacing the strings...also when you put the strings on your
guitar try and put the B and high E string through the hole twice in the
tuning peg so it wont slip...also leave enough string so that the string
will wind around a bunch of times which also helps the string not to
slip.

What I would suggest wait until you finally decide what gauge of strings
that you well be using on that guitar. Once you have decided set it up for
those strings. Most guitars don’t come set up nicely, just to be playable
when trying it out. Once you put the proper groves in the nut then most of
your tuning problems well be solved. Now depending on how much you play and
the acid content in your system well determines how long your strings well
last. One day I had put a new set on and a guy tried it out and after he
gave me back the guitar the strings were dead from his high acid content.
