The 112V has a low grade tremelo it seems and I am not sure the string spacing is wide enough I struggle on an SG to not make contact with adjacent stings. There were some comments about the PRS SE custom stoptail or SE singlecut being good for thicker fingers?
Yep,
Most of these guys just are not appreciating your comment about large fingers.
I have pretty chunky fingers and I simply cannot play anything with a nut width less than 43mm. Unfortunately that excludes the vast majority of guitars around. I don't have a problem at all with the slightly shorter (ie. Gibson 24.75" scale length) but nut width and therefore string spacing is a key factor.
The music you mention liking is largely music played on twin humbucker-loaded guitars, which is handy because the main instruments available a 43mm+ nut width are twin humbucker.
the Pacificas are too narrow, so are ALL squires, so are virtually all Fender strats (apart from the American std, which is a bit pricy). So are most teles.
Definately try the PRS SE's. Epiphone & Chinese/Korean Tokai Les Pauls and SG's also have a 43mm nut.
If you could find a good used Gordon Smith, near enough to try out, that would be great, as I find their necks to be some of the very best for thick fingers. But definately try one out before buying as you can get some really duff ones.
You're pretty limited with strats and teles. The Nashville tele has a 43mm nut and is a v. nice guitar, but has 3 single coils, which you may not like ..... you can always stick a single coil sized humbucker in the bridge position though, which is what I have done with mine.
As for superstrats, Ibanez and Jackson have a number of models with 43mm nuts in your price range
Washburn do a few guitars, like the Idol series with 43mm nut widths.
I think you're getting my point .... don't even consider a 42mm or 42.5 mm nut width guitar. It will only frustrate you in the long run, and there really are plenty of choices out there in 43mm.
Or if your fingers really are "bananas" then get a bass !
