Don't get discouraged and if you get the electric, it will be easier to play!. i would suggest to put !.009 extral light gague onthe Takamine!. That will relieve some tension and the fingering will be very easy and much much less painful!. Day and night situation!.
Takamine is a very good guitar, nice finish and nice sould!. I think you have medium strings which is hard to play even for an experiences Guitar player!.

I am not really that familiar with different types of guitars so I don't really know that much about those guitars, sorry!. I do know that electrics usually have thinner strings, so it won't be as hard on your fingers!. Are you just starting out!? Guitar is going to be painful on your hands when you start out, but it will get better!. Try to search for songs on youtube there are many great free lessons there and its good because you can actually see the lesson!. And yeah I know guitar is really, really hard! Especially with acoustic!. Just practice a little!. I am pretty bad at guitar, because I don't really practice that much!. But I am sure you will be fine with a little practice!. Maybe just focus on learning one really easy song till you master it!.
