This might be a misunderstanding on my part, but you said you tried the tuner and it was perfectly tuned to E!.!.!.!. Not ALL the strings should be tuned to E, just the first and 6th strings! Again, I might be misreading that and you may already know this!. You might have meant the guitar is tuned to E, not each string!. Either way, just check that the strings going from thickest to thinnest are tuned E, A, D, G, B and E again!.

also, if you're playing along to a song and it sounds off on your guitar, remember that an awful lot of bands and artists tune their guitars differently to accompany different singers and vocal ranges!. Try playing to a song that you are DEFINITELY sure is in standard tuning!.

Sound off!!!
If it is a new guitar, then go the nearby musical store and consult the luthier!. It may sometimes happen that there is any manufacturing defect, by the way you didn't mention the brand any type!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
