Hi Medic, one thing to always check is whether you are in tune or not - I'm not saying you are out of tune, it sounds ok to me but it's always worth checking.

Just yesterday I was thinking that my high e string always sounds thin and tinny - is that what you are worried about with your guitar? After listening to your recording I was wondering if that was it - all the other strings sound good but the high e maybe sounds not as mellow.

A way around this is to keep the set of 11s but use a top e string from a slightly heavier set, or maybe get an extra B string and string it as the high E. I'm going to try that on mine to see if it helps.
