The only reason im askin' this is because my hands are so big that I can't play notes very fast, and if you know anything please tell me.

And that I don't wanna switch to bass because of this "defect".

You may want to try out an SRV Signature Strat (big neck) or a Gibson Les Paul (I know, I know, Gibson is the dark side lol) with a '50s neck. Telecasters might be good too.

Check out Warmoth.com. That would be a good starting point since they help people build custom guitars. They may have options for a large neck, frets, etc.[/url]

Hello A-A Ziggs,

'62 Hotrod has todays biggest regular production neck.
Kenny Wayne Sheppherd may be the same or very close.
Warmoth has chunkier yet if you want, and reasonable
pricing and quite a variety of woods available.
Best of luck on your quest.

Cheers.

Hey Ziggs,

Just a thought, why don't you e-mail Fender direct? It may be worthwhile, if nothing else they might point you in the right diection. Although in saying that, going by the replies thus far, you might strike it lucky in here and find your guitar. I hope you find what you're looking for, good luck.
