What kind of guitar do you have? There's a big difference in neck size between say, a classical guitar and an electric.
I didn't even think to include that, I apologize. I have an electric guitar, I don't know what the neck profile or scale length are off the top of my head but I can find them if I need. I think its maybe a 9.5 in radius?
All good. Just wanted to check you weren't trying to play some beastly classical and thinking "what's wrong with me?!" when the neck is a mile wide haha. You'll probably be fine with most electrics, just give it time or refer to the other advice in the thread. You could go to a guitar shop and try a short scale guitar like a fender mustang/Jag - see if it makes a world of difference or not.
What does it say on the neck of the guitar?
Like the model of the guitar?
