Hard to play: bridge/truss rod adjustment (both DIY), nut slots/fret leveling (leave these to a pro) - and don't use anything lighter than 13's if you expect to get any real acoustic tone...
Neck too narrow: Try a Loar (vintage thick V-profile) or Eastman (modern D), both 1-3/4"; anything else you'll need to have custom made, starting at about $5K for an entry-level Campellone...
