I have overall normal sized hands but with big palms and stubby fingers. things I consider are the thickness of the neck, width of the neck at the nut and the scale length (nut to bridge distance.) You may like a wide neck with shorter scale length. usually this gives your digits room for chords and is easier for those wide fret to fret stretches. Next time you hit the guitar store, try a few different neck types. hope that helps.
