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
That's a great point you bring up. I'm looking for a lot but I'm not expecting much realistically. So what would you (and others) suggest I look for when testing out the guitars at a place like sam ash?
