Thanks for the quick reply Lord and Bardsley.
I shimmed up the 1st string at the nut(with a piece of foil) just to see if that would make a difference. It did. I can also lower the action a little. My new question is should I replace the nut(it's a Floyd Rose lock down type and can be removed with an allen wrench) or should I just take it to my guitar guy and have him give it the once over. I usually do most of the mantainence myself(anything that can be fixed or peplaced with a screw driver), but I don't mess around with frets and the finer things.
Thanks again KIMBOB

There's no substitute for expeience. So get out there and break some strings on stage.
