What kind of guitar do you have right now?

There are guitars with larger scale size (increased fret width) and also wide string spacing (increased distance between each string to accomodate large fingers).

Acoustic guitars are sometimes a little bigger, Fender electrics are a bit larger scale than Gibsons. You might have to go to a custom neck in order to get the best fit for you.

But first, go to a local music store (or a few!) and play different guitars. Tell the sales staff what you are after and try a bunch of guitars. See if you can find one that is a better fit for your hand & finger size.

I've seen many people with large fingers learn to play well without larger scale guitars. It just takes time, practice and slight adjustments from normal technique. Like using a one finger barre to handle the A, or just using 2 fingers. But I know some guys that simply had to have bigger guitars in order to get the job done.

Let us know how it goes for you!
