Not all of my guitars needed a set up, that's for sure, but that's pretty hit and miss. Most needed something or other to suit my personal taste.
However, your fingers, as a rank beginner, are definitely going to hurt. But it goes away as you build up some callous. I wouldn't want to see a beginner spend lots of money getting guitar set ups because they thought their fingers wouldn't hurt,
...so ever since then, I always hang on to the buckle.
