I undestand the term "buzz" can be interpreted different ways by different people. I set up all my own instruments and none of my 3 stratocasters buzz when I play them unplugged unless I play them aggressively. I do a full set up each time I change strings.

I guess some people would call the sound of an unplugged strat or tele "buzzing" but that wouldn't be what I would categorize it as.... historically people call that sound "twang".
