Just wondering how high you have your action set?
Mine is about 1.8 mm 12th fret all strings.

Mine is high, around 3mm on the E/B, 4mm on the G/D and 4/5mm on the A/E.

I like to get heavy handed with my tele and its set a little higher than my other guitars. Truth be told i favour a high action anyway.

Wow that is crazy high. Does this not affect the intonation?

Mine are between 1.5-2mm at the 12th fret. Some of the strings buzz and rattle like crazy but nothing that comes through the amp so I'm not fazed by it. I like the comfort.

Me too, but every now and then I'll tweak them only to revert back to the factory recommends after a bit.
