Well, what I did was to put the old chromes back on -- I suppose I could have used the old intonation adjustment screws for the graphtechs...and I might have to do that still. I still had the same problem.
Here's exactly what I think happened: The guitar sounded great with the old chromes on, but there were issues with the saddles -- stripped screws and holes, the High E string thing (probably due to poor saddle design more than anything), and then I put the graphtechs on, which were meant for a different kind of or perhaps different sized bridge (?)...when I investigated the problem, I had the strings off, and removed the neck to see if there was a shim in there...I think this is what then caused the muffled high strings to come about -- either the neck was overtightened (I didn't put it back on, the guy at the local guitar shop wanted to take a look at the neck pocket, removed it and put it back on), or something like that which didn't allow for the kind of snug fit that it had prior to its removal. That's my guess at least.
