i agree with the "lemon" theory...i've had my Hiway1 for well over a year now, blondie, maple board, big frets,...love it, bone stock except for added Hipshot and titanium saddles....action is extremely low on this guitar, lower than i can get my gold-top LP, just the way i like them, and there is not a hint of buzz or rattle...hope you get it all sorted out...
