It's so hard to answer this often asked question IMO as there aren't any "good" acoustic guitars that sell for $150. If you are set on the price, you best option is to go to GC, Sam Ash. Etc and play all the ones they have in that price range and buy the one "you" like the most. I would put "playability" over tone, materials, looks. Any Dreadnaught will do what you want to do, with the exception of Classical/Flamenco. You really need Nylon strings to get the right sound for those (IMO).

If you want a "good" guitar, you need to raise your price up to around $400. Also, consider a used guitar as you can normally get a better guitar for about 2/3 to 1/2 the price of a new one.

Good luck
