Question : Is this a lot easier on your fingers? Less pain and callouses for a beginner than a steel string?
Answer : Thought about it further and taking into consideration the other poster. A classical guitar is designed for playing classical and flamenco guitar. A steel string acoustic plays all the other genres. Actually, if I were beginning again and wanted to play rock, blues, pop, I'd get an imported electric in this same price range. Sore fingers are part of playing the guitar. It can be lessened by lighter gauge string. An absolute beginner can use .08 gauge strings and even tune down 1/2 a step and while this will make for an ugly tone, play it for two weeks, tune up to standard pitch for the next two weeks, get a new set of .09s tune them down a half a step for two weeks then up to standard pitch for however long you like this gauge as this is what a lot of player use. The neck width and radiused fingerboard and the fact that you pick lighter on an electric actually make it easier to play than a nylon string guitar or acoustic for that matter. However, if you want to fingerpick classical music then this is an excellent guitar for the price, beginner or expert.
