How big are our favourite guitar players' hands?

Does it mean that Steve Vai has six fingers on his left hand?
holy duck!
"Steve Vai’s enormous hands. Note extra finger on the left hand that enables him to do a B minor/Major7th #6/9 Aug b5 chord at the first fret. I think these were about the largest hands on the Rockwalk. Makes you wonder how he manages to play so accurately up at the high frets with such massive digits."
 
Im guessing the guy whos hands we are seeing are from an asian person. Asian people tend to have smaller hands than caucasian people
 
woah!! wondering wads the size of the control hand in the picture?
so i can make a comparision...hahaha....
 
Dammit compared to the ang mohs, us Asians have smaller everything, smaller hands, smaller stature,smaller %$#. WHY?

Diet. It's been scientifically proven.
They eat more meat, our genes changed over time.

My hand is 21 cm from bottom of my palm to the tip of the middle finger... :\

Haha. Yeah. Slightly over 1.8.
But I hunch like mad... To hear the hobbits, y'know? ;)
 
it's nature and nurture.

i believe genes play apart, but what a person does in his life also helps contribute to the size of the hand.

piano and guitar players who play the instruments since young tend to have bigger hand than those who start later on.

Heh - cheers (if that was indeed a compliment :)) I got the store guy to take it and was too embarassed to ask him to take it a few times to get my good side.

Anyway - for those who are interested, I measured my hand and it's 18.5cm from wrist (the first wrinkle/line of skin) to the tip of my middle finger. Widest span I can do from thumb tip to pinky tip is 22cm.
