Took lessons in high school, stopped playing for 15 years, now I've been playing again for a couple of months and keep running into problems on chords where my fingers are next to each (e.g. A major) and where i have to extend my fingers fairly far over an adjoining string (e.g., B minor). The problem is that I have large hands with I guess fat fingers, b/c the smallest sliver of my skin constantly hits the string next to it - creating that dreaded muted flat sound.

I'm playing on a new folk style acoustic guitar from Fender (FA-125OS). I didn't even think to ask if the folk style body had a smaller neck then the regular body, but anyone have any thoughts? Do I need a different guitar with a wider neck? If so which acoustic brands tend to have the wider necks? Would lowering the action help?
