I’ve been doing a lot of classical with nylon strings and my parlour with 13-53 silk and steel but I’ve had 12-53 and 12-54 on another OM with no problems.
this Alvarez comes with D’Addario EXP16 12-53.
practised maybe an hour and my finger tips are grooved and sore.
Is this unusual. Just down to a new set up ?
I have some 10s and 11s which I’m just going to have to try on this guitar until I get some mileage in.

11s do feel better on my fingers
The thinner gage strings will definitely help. Have you tried Elixer nanoweb stuff? That's super nice on your fingers too.
