Beginner acoustic guitar suggestions

I'm looking to buy my gf an acoustic guitar. She's a complete beginner. I'd like to stay under $300-400 if possible. Any suggestions?

Yamaha

^ what he said. if you want to compare then shop them against takamine.

Yep, Yamaha and Takamine are great. My wifey plays a Tak - she bought it herself when she was playing solo shows.

Try a Seagull S6 as well.

oops

Try a Seagull S6 as well.

i have this and i fucking love it. it sounded better than the takamine's in the same price range ($500)

you can get a solid top cort for under 300... i think. i 've been out of the scene for awhile.

i bought an ibanez, it was on sale

i almost bought a low-end martin, but my friends suggested against it

proud to say ive owned it for a month and i can play about 25 songs =)

im tackling 5 string barre chords this week

I know Alvarez makes some good lower end acoustics.

Alvarez and Fender are my favs for this level of accoustic.

In Yamaha's what is their best for under $200 bucks? I still might buy used from someone assuming I can try it out before I buy it, but I'm a little worried I might get screwed buyin used.
