Most likey a voicing problem caused either by your tongue going to high or choking in your throat. Try singing a high note voicing an ah sound and then go up about a 4th, (her comes the bride). You should notice how the back of your throat "tightens" or closes. Singing the higher way will produce the A instead of the E when you play. In any case, getting a more opened feeling in your throat by having a bit more of an OH or OW feeling and less of an EE will probably help. I disagree with Karl on that but only you can determine by trying. In my opinion to much EE closes off the air column as you go high.
Another way to try is to begin the high E purposely playing it slightly flat so you relax everything more. Once you beging feeling comfortable with getting it consistent then begin bringing it into pitch without pinching.
