Good heavens, GTX ... more bad luck! Watch out for wayward transport trucks; they really sting when they hit you.

Phill ... for whatever reason, I find a Gibson-style of neck easier on the hand / wrist. Might be because I'm 6'4" with long arms and big hands ... dunno. More important than the actual neck shape, I find that the angle and the height of it on the body makes a bigger difference. Having it angled up at about 30-degrees, as well as having the lower bout in the lap (if seated) is very comfortable height.

I see some guitarists with the neck angled out almost parallel to the floor, and the body of the guitar down on their hips. I simply can't play that way.
