I'd still stick to the brands Phil mentioned below, unless you really want to stretch the budget Archived Message

Martin, Taylor, and Gibson are the big names in acoustics, with Martin and Taylor being ahead of Gibson, in my opinion. Those will run you up into the $1000+ range, which, unless you're an average Deucer, is just kinda silly for beginners learning a guitar. In the $500 to $750 range you could probably get a higher-end Fender or a lower end Taylor. Something like a Taylor GS. Again, once you are getting in to that price point, your better option is to go to a good store that has a good selection and try a few out and see how they feel. If you're a beginner with a limited budget, that's less important 1) because the available options are limited in the first place, and 2) you might never know the difference. But at a higher price point, you are trying to keep it for longer, and you're going to want something that feels good.
