Problem with high e string

i was playing a riff that goes:
e---19----
b-17--19--
the note on the e string sounds like im barely pressing it. and now im starting to realize a lot of my high e notes sound bad also. does any one know why and how to fix it

check out the action. My B and G strings sounded horrible on my strat, then I adjusted the action to be a tad higher, now they actually sound pretty good.
And hopefully its only the action and not the neck warping, that would be very bad.
hope this helps :)

get the sucker intonate-d ..by a pro
then
ask him/her "what did you do-how that -and- why did you do that."
ive been behind that table before as have many friends and can state w/ authority that if you ask the Pro "what-how-why' he/she will be delighted to tell you. seriously
(just dont do itr on , lol, a Saturday or Friday afternoon lol
.. try Tuesdays-Wednesdays-etc, Dig?

thanks but a couple of questions how do you ajust the action, and whats intoation. btw that riff is from the song knocked up by kings of leon. and im using my ephiphone sg

need pics of guitar. but there located both on the bridge.

i dont have any pics but look on guitar center's website its the ephihone sg g-400

you probably need to raise the action I also have a epiphone Sg G-400 and I had the same problem before

how do u raise the action?

There are 2 slotted screws on the sides of you bridge forget whether you tighten or loosen them but try both

be careful not to overdo it too, I usually have my action set a little above 1/8th in. and a really high action isn't very easy to play nor will it sound the best.

yea but on the Epiphone SG The neck tilts backwards so you can't have low action
