Default First guitar for an "older" beginner with fat fingers...

A strange advice request...

My Dad (who has never played an instrument in his life... and is now in his 60s) has been staying with us for a few days and has decided that he wants to learn the guitar!

The problem is he has REALLY wide fingers and is struggling to make any kind of chords on my guitars (even on the 12-string which has a wider nut)....

Can anyone recommend a "beginners" guitar with a very wide nut (obviously one option would be to go for a classical type guitar, but I just wanted to know if there were any other alternatives out there...)

Thanks!
