High E choking out?

Concerning possible dead spots from a guitar’s acoustic properties

When the frequency of a fretted note matches the natural resonance frequency of the guitar’s neck and body, and the resulting vibrations interfere destructively, it can cause a dead spot. This dead spot leads to less energy in the vibrating string, which reduces the sustain of that particular note. The energy that would normally sustain the note is instead absorbed by the guitar’s neck or body, leading to a quicker decay in the sound.

What I already said.
 
maybe an issue with the bridge saddle that only shows up with the string bent further?
Try bending a few frets back but up a half step higher or more and see if it happens then.

It’s a dead frequency.

Could then be a dead note meaning the guitar just doesn't ring very well at all at that frequency.
I have a steinberger that does the opposite at the 12th fret high E string.
The note is loud and it's hard to make the same volume as the others around it

That’s what I have said in the last few posts. That is rare on a carbon neck guitar unless you mean a Spirit then anything goes.
