I have 'sausage fingers' as well. In the beginning, when you're trying to form good practicing habits and struggling with learning a new instrument, it might seem like the strings are too far apart. But they're not. It's just difficult to learn something new, and everyone wants to look for an 'easy out', from 'this guitar is too big for me', to 'the body shape is making it hard'. Almost always, it's not. Learn on what you have, and, after you're comfortable playing, try out some other models and sizes. See if it makes a difference. I'm betting it won't. Learning to play is difficult, stick with it!
