From the St. Sebastian's Renaissance Guild website:

WHAT DOES "HIGH STRUNG" MEAN?

When a bow is "high strung" it means that when the bow is strung the height of the string from the handle is over 6 inches. This made the bow fast to shoot but over-stressed the wood causing the bow to have a very short life. When a bow fails it tends to explode.

So a "high strung" person is quick to blow up. Quick to anger, etc

Example:
The high strung mall security guard told me he'd kick my ass if I tried to skateboard again.

High Strung is one of the best movies of Steve Oederek.
It's about a paranoid, all-hating, pessimist that's about to die because of his attitude. A must-watch movie!

Example:
High Strung quotes:

Thane Furrows: I'd rather... be... DEAD!
Thane Furrows: Relationships? They shouldn't even call them relationships. They should have a more descriptive name: Painland.
Thane Furrows: Smokers. There's no excuse for smoking. Smoking is the equivalent to carrying around a salt lick, laced with a little bit of cyanide.
