It depends on the day, and how much I play. The short answer is yes, and the accoustic is harder on my hands than the bass, which is part of why I play the bass, though honestly I just love bass. But I still like to play the martin. The martin is "for me", in the sense that it's what I play when I'm alone and I just need to relax, express myself, worship that sort of thing. It's sort of like my western American version of meditation. lol I've also used it when playing rhythym accoustic with a band, and I've loaned it out to people who needed it for a gig several times (only people I trust, but honestly I like hearing it played well). I take pretty heavy narcotic pain relievers every day, so it's not usually too bad.
I started on Classical, which I honestly think is the best way to start, and that doesn't hurt my hands much at all. I haven't had the classical out in a while though. The reason it's so much easier to learn on is that it has wider string spacing, nylon strings which don't cut fingers the way steel ones do, and much lower string tension. So it's just way easier to play. But it's also a very different type of music. I lucked out on the classical, it's a 50+ year old Yamaha that I paid $50 for when I needed one for lessons, and it sounds great. I've played $300-400 guitars that I don't think sound as good. Sometimes that just happens.
My friends mockingly refer to me as a guitar collector rather than a guitar player. At one point (briefly) I had six guitars, but I'm down to three functional guitars, and one junk guitar that I'm either going to repair and sell or give away. My Bass is a replica of the '72 Fender Jazz Bass played by Geddy Lee, and I really like it. I made a couple modifications based on my preferred playing style, like a thumb rest I carved myself out of ebony that fits between the pickups. That's my "main" instrument. The martin of course, and the classical are the other two. My first guitar ever was an electric called a yamaha Pacifica, basically a clone of a Fender strat. I sold that with the amp and stuff to a friend. I also had a 2003 Epiphone Les Paul Custom+ which was the last year it was made will all Gibson hardware and pickups. I should have gotten more for it but I sold it for $550 with the case so I could put the money towards my bass. In the end it was a good call because I never played the Paul, but it was sooooooo beautiful. I really miss it. Aside from my bass none of my guitars were at all what most musicians would call expensive. They were all "mediocre" instruments, but I liked them, and I liked having a variety of different types of guitar available, for different styles of music. I just wish I could play better.
My Dad has a kickass Taylor that he won't let me play, literally. It really annoys me, but I can sort of understand it. His Taylor is probably worth more than all of my guitars together. He also has a washburn travel guitar that sucks, we should sell that.
