Jotunheim:
It isn't extended range instruments' fault that your hands are puny :P

You basically have to play the guitar classical-style. You know, without letting your thumb wrap over.
Putting the strap high helps.

KingOfIreland:
I have puny hands, so to prove that your picture tells me nothing about yours, I'll post a similar one!
Also: I very nearly bought an Ashton viper 50H and a peavey 412 for 200 pounds in a pawn shop in England. I'm glad I didn't though because I have to pay my rent in four days but oh god was that a sweet amp. All tube, spring reverb.
Clean channel, mean channel and a filth switch.
clean was good, reverb was not exactly the best, but good enough, mean channel was sweet, creamy valve breakup to AC/DC style stuff. Then came the filth switch. Jesus.
The filth switch made this thing go absolutely insane. I made a baby cry with the sheer level of ridiculous distortion. I loved it.
My birthday is coming up and I've decided that my only wish this year is for people to supply me with more gain.

* The tuning system is the 6 twistable pegs on the bridge, and if you want to go from standard tuning to drop D, you have to unscrew the screw that holds that low E string using an allen key, tune it down to drop D, then RETUNE EVERY FUCKING STRING ON THE GUITAR over and over and over and over and over until they're all in tune again (the reason for retuning all the other strings was covered in Reason #2).

Glad you didn't name EVH in your guitar-wankers list. Although I don't really get the hoo-ha about using a Floyd for VH songs because the first 3 albums he recorded he just used a standard Floating tremelo. Just lube up the nut and use a good vibrato system.
Having never played a Floyd-equppied guitar long enough to really defend them properly, I will give one tiny answer to this flaw:
It's called a D-Tuna and it flicks from drop D to E. No unscrewing necessary.*
*doesn't cover any other string, note, or stop any of the above mentioned problems form occurring either.
