AcousticElectric Question: One String has less Volume than the Others?

Maybe I listent too closely or something; but I've noticed for about a week now that my Alvarez AC60 Nylon String Acoustic|Electric has one string that is a little quieter than the rest when plugged in. The Low 'E' is the culprit. It's really noticeable when you play Bass notes with your thumb. I've turned everything off in the house to listen closely and even used headphones and I still think that the Low 'E' is about 30% less volume that the others.

 

Any suggestions as to why or what I can do? Perhaps the ribbon in the bridge is 'off' position some?

 

Thanks for any help.

PS - I did email Alvarez and haven't heard back as of yet.

I suspect that the bottom of the bridge saddle might not be firmly in contact with the transducer. You might want to take it to a guitar tech for a check up.
