I have a 2002 Mexican strat and when I get it tuned in the guitar sounds out of tune but the tuner says its still in tune

Strings 1 and 2 always are the strings that clash.

Are you using a quick tune turner?

Sounds like the intonation is off.

I had the guitar professionally adjusted by Fender and its a $50 tuner and it keeps all of my other guitars in tune.

Intonation is off. Maybe take it back to the guy who "adjusted" it.

Where does the guitar sound out of tune? Open chords, barre chords, 1st five frets, upper end of the neck?
Which strings sound out?

Which Srings are they E&A (low sounding) or B&E (high sounding)?

Also where are you playing on the fretboard when you notice its out of tune?
