You didn't mention your budget so I'll assume that you want something that you can trash but sounds decent.
If you want a nylon-string, get the
Yamaha C40 or C45 ($150 and $90 with gigbag). The latter can usually be found at Costco. The local stores might still have leftover stock from Christmas. These are laminated spruce tops.
If you want a steel-string dreadnaught, the Yamaha Eterna runs about $140 at Costco. This is a very good laminated spruce top. Again, the Costco stores may have leftover Christmas stock. Call around.
If you want a solid spruce top dreadnaught,
Costco .com is offering the Suzuki pictured above with a rebate that takes it below $100! That quite a deal but you'll probably get some sneers from guitar snobs when they see the Suzuki label.
At $300-500, there are lots of good OOO and dreadnaught guitars from China that are imported by Walden, Johnson and Blueridge. These have gotten good reviews in Acoustic Guitar Magazine. My recommendation is that, after a few weeks of getting to know these guitars, you should have them set-up to your preferences (because the action might be a little high).
Godin's Seagull line would be my first choice for a solid-quality guitar (made in Canada). As someone had mentioned, they make a great parlor sized guitar (the Coastline Cedar Grand) with a full-length scale. If you want a nylon string,
get the La Patrie Motif which has a solid cedar top.
My personal favorite is the Yamaha Guitalele which is pictured above alongside my Yamaha C45MA. It's a guitar that's got a 17-inch scale and is as big as a tenor ukulele. It's tuned ADGCEA (capo on the 5th fret of a guitar). It costs about $100 and is only sold in Canada, Europe and Asia. Americans can buy it from Canada
by following the procedures in this blog post. It sounds great as a slack-key guitar when tuned to GCGCEG.
