That seems rather backwards to me. Being a guitarist myself (and not some bedroom warrior, i am quite qualified in it already). Smaller frets make guitars harder to play. Having said that everyone's hands are different so to each their own i guess. I like my Les Pauls necks, nice big frets :).

well i play guitar, banjo, bass and mandolin.the mandolin has very small frets, and is, i would say, probably a bit harder to play. the banjo has nice wide ones, and is, i think, easier. this could also be a result of the tuning and the amount of tension in the strings, as the mandolin is tuned less intuitively (from a guitar player's point of view) than the banjo, and has very tight strings. also, it has double strings, which adds a little more difficulty, but not much.

I don't care anyway. I got a recorder AND a glockenspiel yesterday, so I am contented.

Yes my friend has a mandolin, it is rather cumbersome at first but after about an hour so you get used to it and are able improvise once you get used to how the mandolin is tuned. Guitars are tuned in 4ths. Not sure what mandolin is tuned in but it doesn't take long to figure it out.

maybe he just had very short arms?i mean, he wasn't really a lead player anyway. i've got a short-scale rickenbacker bass and it's a lot easier to play than my jazz

Y'know what's weird...That guitar isn't shopped; it's something he actually plays.
I think I'll stick to my ES-295
