Why does my high E string keep going flat?

You may have killed the strings. Replace them, then if the issue persists, look for a mechanical issue.

Is some fret buzz OK?

Because of different style preferences, some players are okay with a little fret buzz as long as their action is as low as possible. However, others may find even a little fret buzz distracting and uncomfortable.

Do heavier strings reduce fret buzz?

Yes – in some sense. Heavier strings have bigger tension, and therefore the amplitude of their vibration is lower. That can certainly account for the fret buzz you experience. If you experience fret buzz when you put lighter guitar strings, it’s probably because the action height is not properly adjusted.

Why does my guitar tune up to low E then down?

If the entire guitar starts off flat & you tune from high E down to low E, lifting each string to pitch as you go, then by the time you’ve reached low E, the entire tension across the guitar has increased, which will pull the neck forwards slightly & also any tremolo system you may have – making the first few strings you tuned flat again.
