guitar strings are stiff, help pls!!?

Hi,
I bought a guitar recently, i have tuned it using auto tuner. The thing is the strings are very stiff, my fingers are hurting when i had to press the strings for chords, so is it problem with my new guitar or initially the strings will be like that for all the guitars? btw, i bought LYON by washburn guitar.. pls suggest me a good accoustic guitar.

I know you’ll hate to hear this, but you gotta work through the pain. Play every day for a few weeks and eventually you will have built up some serious calouses. If they still hurt after that change the gauge. The lower the gauge, the thinner the string, the easier to manipulate the strings. You should also check the neck of the guitar. If the neck is bowed too far back then the strings float too high off the neck which calls for more pressure on the strings. The more pressure you have to apply, the more painful the note. Every guitar player goes through that stage, but the most important thing is that once the calouses forms on the finger, you have to keep playing so they don’t fade away and you have to start from square one.

As far as the guitar search goes, play everything and anything you can get your hands on! Not everything has to be in your price range, but note the things you like and dislike. Do you like the cut away? do you like electric acoustics? do you like the full body? Check everything so you can narrow down what you like in your price range.
