Here's a tip I got when I was 12, and I'm very thankful for - still playing at 53:

Whatever acoustic guitar you end up with, have the shop string the bottom three strings (E, B, & G) with nylon strings, and save the steel ones. Just for a month or two. It's totally unconventional, but I have seen SOOOO many people get discouraged from the pain of no finger-tip callouses.

You get past the pain part a little easier, and get to enjoying it sooner. Just don't wait too long to put the steels ones back on.
