Replace those cr@ppy tuners with some good Gotoh 'klusons' if you're getting the typical junky noises from there I remember.

I think there's truth to the big fret factor because my Highway One Telecaster has the jumbo frets, my Stratocaster does not, and both are same low action set up done with same tools. Some playing makes the Highway One more prone to the strings hitting the frets. Hybrid picking where the strings are getting grabbed and pulled in a plane that's different from strumming and some funky upstroke picking with a thick pick can make it obvious.
As far as the tuners go I cannot complain. They're not as nice as the lockers on my Stratocaster or open gear tuners on my V series Martin, but they hold strings, tune easily and the instrument stays in tune.
