so today i went to allans music in the city and played every tele there including a new HW1, so about 6 teles inc the expensive butterscotch one with the seymour mini bucker in the front (Excuse my ignorance on the models:) and i hate to say it, but i think fenders current quality control is absolute ****...they all buzzed or fretted out when bending on the high E string around the 10-17th fret (it varied)...amongst other fret rattles

the only exception was 1 mex tele, but that was 1 out of a few mex's there...have my time again id play all of the mex teles i could and choose a winner but now it seems ill have to live with with my HW1 and the fret buzzing...i have to go to a few more shops and play a few more HW1's but considering the shop are willing to exchange the guitar for another, i doubt my chances of getting a better one (no buzzing) are very good

im glad you guys havent had the same issues!
