I have tendonitis in both of my wrists, and I've heard that it doesn't often go away. So, I guess I need a guitar with a slightly thick neck, to compensate. I heard that helps.
So, what's out there for me?

Take a look at some schecter 7's. They can be had on the cheap with decent options and have a thicker feeling neck to them.

The Washburn WG587 that I had awhile back was cheap as hell and the neck was much beefier than my RG7420.

my WG587 had a super skinny neck, although they had a few variations i believe.

^ this, my first impression of the neck was that it was too fat, but after a few days it had grown on me and felt more natural than any other guitar i've owned

From what I understand, Agiles also have thicker necks, although not Schecter-thick. To be fair though, I've never played an Agile.
