guitar buying tips?

[jfall]

I'm in the market for an acoustic guitar. I basically know nothing about them. What brands should I look at? Any tips on what I should look for and what I should avoid?

I'm looking for something decent but not too expensive. Don't want to spend any more than $300

Check out this thread at Ultimate Guitar, made exactly for people like you. I've heard great things about the Yamaha FG730 ($299).
