When I was taking lessons, I got to the point where I could play without a problem, even with the wide neck - but that was before the RSI set in in both hands. I don't think it's actually carpal tunnel, but it could develop into that if I'm not careful. Just about everything makes my wrists and hands hurt nowadays. I'm managing it - more or less - but it does mean I have to make some hard choices and restrict my activities. It would be the squeezing required to hold the strings down that would be the problem.
