I've heard people say this before, and I just don't get it.

How does fret size possibly affect your action? Action is measured as the distance from the top of the fret to the string. The fret's could be 5 feet high, and it would still have nothing to do with the measurement of action.

As to your question, when I first bought my UV I thought the frets were pretty big, because they're bigger than what the Jem's have. However, after playing on the Jumbo's I ordered on my Carvin, the UV frets are quite a bit smaller, and I prefer the Jumbo's on the Carvin. But it's all about what you're used to, what you're comparing it with, and what you like the most. So go play one and you can answer for yourself better than anyone here can for you.
