The E should have a brass Barrell (.046) and the A should be red. (.034) diameters respectively. I have the same strings. [br][br]

If all is good and your sure your tuned properly then it's probably intonation. Our resident GuitarTricks tech Stephen White could help you out further. Good luck. [br][br]

Thanks for the feedback mjgodin.

I checked the colours, all fine. Intonation fine also.

Turns out it was something very noob of me. The string was an octave down. :P Im just beggining...

I tuned it and its fine now.
