Cheers Guys. Woks, big hands have created a dilemma over the years. I prefer Gibbo style guitars but to be they feel too cramped and small. Then fender style guitars feel like a better fit but I don't like the usual fretboard radius (I think their player series is 12" radius though . Kit guitar = perfect solution. I can have an F style guitar I like with a larger radius fretboard. Win win!

With big hands maybe you should become a Bass player instead?
I have relatively small hands and after playing Bass for a while find any guitar a bit cramped but gradually get used to it after practising for a while.
Blows me away how many big name guitarists also have large hands and do really intricate work high up the neck. One advantage you would have is a greater reach than a shorty like me.
Wazkelly, my fretless is in the making... maybe time to jump ship! DB would be pleased with that! lol

Once you do there's a fair chance you won't go back.
Cheers, Waz
