Robert, with all that weight you have lost, have your hands shrunk any or are they still EXTRA Large?
I have tree stump hands. I find making Hendrix and Frusciante type thumb over 6th string chords to be a real challenge for me. It would seem I would benefit from a narrow width neck, but I really am most comfortable on wider necks where my fingers have room to press the intended strings and not mute the ringing out of notes on the neighboring strings.

BTW I sure wish I could figure out how to lose 40 lbs and not feel like I need hypnosis not to be hungry all the time.

Same here
 
As a related question to neck widths, Have any of you guys had much experience with extra wide necks like some acoustic guitars or Classical guitars have? A buddy bought a few Acoustics that had necks with what seemed like 1 3/4 or larger nuts and what are Bridge Cable gauge strings on them like 13's. These guitars would make a man out my my fingertips in no time.

Hands are still requiring an XXL Glove. I lost 32 pounds and have kept it off with zero effort. I still eat what I like (but I never did eat fast food ever anyways) I just eat less of it.
