Default confessions of an acoustic player

As a long time exclusively acoustic player I was seduced by the Fender Classic Vibe series Tele at a great price. When I got it I noticed that when playing a bass part while strumming on an E chord in first position the B and C# were sharp. Of course I assumed intonation was off so had it set up (Sweetwater offered to pay for a set up btw).

The guitar was fine, my acoustic muscled left hand was bending the notes with way too much pressure on the strings. I told Sweetwater thanks, but I'll cover the set up as the 'problem' was due to user error.

So, as a humbled newby coming back to playing an electric on occasion I now know I've got a lot to learn. The Squire Tele is big fun at a bargain price though!
