Les Paul Modern Sparkling Burg : Great guitar, badly rough frets

Mine just arrived today, I love everything about it, the neck is amazing, the tuners are great, the pickups sound good too, the body isn't heavy at all, but the frets, man. Don't know if I got unlucky, but they are scratchier than on my previous guitar which is a $250 Squier Tele. Subsequently bends are really a bother for my fingers and hard to do. Another thing, I heard that bends should be really easy on Les Pauls, but the strings feel so tight and way harder to bend and especially add vibrato to, than on my Tele. Don't know if it's a transitional thing, a string gauge thing, or those cursed frets. I'll have to get them polished/crowned, but other than that, 10/10 guitar and truly great at its price.
