Fingers hurt? Hows the action? Strings far from the neck? Can't tell :P That can change how it feels, certainly, as well as string weight/type.
Eventually, if you're consistent, you'll have nice little callous's on your fingers, and it won't be so bad.
Good luck, serenade me sometime!

No fingers don't hurt, the blister on my thumb hurts a bit lol...It feels great and the solid mahogony sounded so much better then the others, i have the elixir light strings, since I havent played with anything else I dunno if they are the way to go or what. I played around with the cd rom for a couple hours last night playing.
reading music is coming back to me.

i bought a takamini accoustic about 10 months ago.. i love it.. very simple, no pic guard, clean/bright sound.. no buzzes... very smooth fret action, requires little effort... not as nice as an electric, but close...
has a built in tuner (didn't know that till i brought it home) and the pickup sounds great on it when played through an amp or used for recording purposes.

heres the secret. for extended playing, dap a little super glue on vunerable fingers and presto! no more ouch. I am baby sitting my bro's Ovation adamas 12 string right now, and i got a fender myself. that thing is beautiful tho!
