It's not really as easy as naming a particular guitar for any one job. What suits one person will not necessarily suit another. I would advise many happy hours sitting in good acoustic guitar shops (if they're really good they'll bring you coffee as well as all the stuff in your price range) trying stuff out. Even 2 guitars of the same model can feel very different 'in the hand'. Two shops I can really recommend if you are in the West Yorks area (or can get there) are the Music Room in Cleckheaton (this is the HQ shop and has a good range from all price points) and Eagle Music near Huddersfield. Websites are available for each of them with addresses. I have bought stuff from both places, and cannot fault their friendliness or knowledge. Once you've got your guitar, then there's the thorny issue of string gauge...... Oh well...
