So, I have fallen in love with a sunburst usa Highway One Telecaster ( as stated in other posts ) at my local GC.. the tone, versatility, etc is awesome on it... Playability has been something that has come to my attention recently. The Tele was much much easier and different to play than my Epiphone LP standard.. It seems like on my epi that the frets are too small... something is going on because i have started to notice the really little buzzes that come from fretting notes. and these little buzzes never come from my acoustic either and the frets are noticeably larger than the ones on my electric- therefore i would rule out "sloppy playing" if there is such a thing.. Anyone have some input on this? i am sure some of you do. And what makes the difference? the neck? the frets? I am a little confused..

Thanks
Aubrey
