if you want an incredible sounding acoustic, go with Washburn. They have the absolute best sound because of the Buzz Feiten tuning system (wasburn is one of the only lower end manufacturers that use this system). It really does make every chord sound sweeter. Oh yeah, you can get into the lower models pretty cheap too. Just make sure that it has the buzz feiten system and decent tuners.

My washburn acoustic (and my electric):
