Yamaha guitars espicially the FG series are considered really good for beginners. The Fender CD series is ok for beginners and has a reasonable pricing. I've never played a Fender acoustic before so i can't elaborate on it.
I do have a Black Yamaha FG720sbl i call Balto and he is one AWESOME guitar. Balto was a bit expensive. He was $500 but he is always in tune even when i don't play him for days. He isn't too heavy or light. The neck is designed so you have a good grip. The sound Balto makes is just pure awesomeness of extreme awesomeness!!!
