ALL guitars will tear up your fingertips and give you callouses. Once you have callouses and are used to it, it will stop hurting, but when you first start your fingertips will get absolutely torn up.

This is even true if you play acoustic nylon strings. The callousing would be much less acute with a lower gauge string and even less so with nylon strings. But a total beginner's fingertips would still get torn up and calloused even with nylon strings, let alone with any gauge of steel (bronze) string.

The other thing you may be referring to is the action: how far you have to press down on the string to fret it. For total beginners a higher action might feel like it causes more muscle strain in the hand to fret, but it's not as important as having good finger placement and hand position. The action on this guitar is perfectly in range of what is considered appropriate for a steel string guitar, low enough for fretting but not too low to hurt tone or cause strings to buzz against other frets.
Yup sure is. If you're looking for the "best"(best being very subjective) beginner guitar out there its probably the Yamaha FS/FG800. But there is absolutely nothing wrong with this Fender for a beginner anyone would be happy to learn with it.

I thought this was out of production - got a black one for $99 a few years ago and thought it sounded quite good for a compact guitar at that price.

Is this soft on the hand (fingers). Some guitars are so hard when laying the hand on the frets.

That sometimes depends on the types of string that you use, if you play guitar and it feels hard to press the strings, try a lighter gauge of string

I understand that but I have tried some guitars (expensive ones) that feel soft compared to other less expensive. I can feel the difference. Will try a different string to see if that helps. I have a $200 dollar Ibanez that feels hard and really hurts my fingers. I keep thinking that more expensive guitars have the strings closer to the fret or something like that and that makes them softer. (just an idea).

I used to play a ton (like 10 years ago) and now I rarely play. Same guitars but my fingertips burn now when I play as I have lost my calluses. I really is all about the callouses. Only way to get them is to push through.

You aren't totally wrong though... Some guitars are easier and lower lighter gage strings can hurt a bit less.

Almost all guitars, new or used require a professional "setup" or fine tuning per se, buy it, bring it to a guitar shop and ask for a "setup" to make it easy to play. I agree, I've really liked what I've seen from Yamaha recently for entry level guitars but this one has a solid top so it's a deal at this price. Would be great for another "couch guitar" to hang in another room in the house if the Misses hadn't imposed guitar sanctions on me 😆 (to be fair I have enough guitars she's let me buy 😉) cheers
