No. I'd say it's common, but not optimum. Play a barre F. Put a capo on fret 1 and play a barre F#. Should feel about the same. If not, your nut needs work. See frets.com for setup pix.
My first guitar, purchased 1965, high action, no setup, gave me a noticable callus on my barre index finger. I was kinda proud of it 
The guitars in my current fleet all have good setups. No callus. |
Hmm, the difference was slightly, although the soreness was obviously still there.
