Is the action high? Or maybe the nut is cut high and needs taking down and/or the neck has too much relief.

It sounds like the strings are having to travel too far down to the fingerboard and so being pulled sharp when fretted.

I'm guessing a good setup will put things right and make your guitar much easier to play properly and sound sweet at the same time.
Action is a little high, so you could be on the money there. Cheers.
