I play accoustic, and yes the action is quite high. It's a $120 guitar, so .... it's crap
But regardless, aren't strings strings? (light guage or not?)
By the way, thinking about callouses being so deep that strings get stuck in them, is hysterical! Oh God! aha haaa

LOL I see you got quite a visual on that one, RJ!
Actually I didn't mean like embedded to the bone LOL. Just like the strings catch on the callouses and cause the string to sound when you remove your fingers. But I am glad that you had a laugh--laughing is good for us!
The strings--a lighter gauge string will require less pressure. The problem is that if the action is very high, the gauge change might not make a difference.
There are some pretty nice guitars available for not a lot of money. Maybe you could treat yourself to a more suitable guitar--maybe even electric--if you are serious about wanting to play.
My students have been bringing in some really nice guitars that were moderately priced. Let me know if you are interested.
