I was playing my Zakk Wylde epiphone when the high e string came out from the bottom(below the pick ups). How do I go about fixing it? If i take it in can they do it?

Yes, and they can show you how to do it yourself too.

Are you sure it popped out, & didn't break at the little brass grommett on the end of the string?
I own a Gibson that has a similar tailpiece as your Epiphone, & those tailpieces are heavy duty. I don't see how it's possible for the string to just pop out unless it simply broke. The 1st string, or high "E" is the most common string to break.
When my strings start to break (unless they are brand new) I take that as an indication that it's time to put on a whole new set.
A new set of good strings will cost less than $10, about $5 for a cheap set.
I won't make any recommendations as to what brand or type of strings to replace them with because that is really up to the individual.
If you aren't sure how to go about replacing the strings, just take your guitar in to any decent guitar shop. I am sure they will be happy to give you some tips on how to do it. :)

I play guitar also, and in order to replace the strings they have to remove them occaisonally to improve tone and tuning of the guitar. I'm absolutely positive they could fix this problem if you ask them to replace the high E or just all the strings if you haven't had it done recently. Not only will they be less likely to snap or break, it'll improve your playing too.

loosen all the tuners on the top of the neck to the point of being able to unwrap them and take them off of the tuners. Then with each loose string push it thru the bottom - seeing how they come out - you can see how they go in - buy a pack of strings - and change out all the strings so that the tone and thickness with be uniform.

I'm thinking you have to replace the whole string. Go out & buy a new one & ask the store to tell you how to string it, 'cause it'll be cheaper than having them do it for you. Then you'll know.

should just thread a new string through from behind the bridge. There is probably a plate on the back of body that comes off for access.

I think you should take it into professionalls. It would be simpler if it snapped where the tuning pegs were.
Look on wikipedia or something too
