Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Takamine label guitars have a good reputation as well as their 2nd line of guitars under the Jasmine Label!.
Acoustic guitars come with either steel-strings or nylon-strings!. Either one can be used to play any kind of music!.
Nylon strings have a "mellower" sound and the steel-strings have a more "brighter" sound!.
The steel-string versions have a little larger body (box) than the classical (nylon-strings) version and many non-classical musicians like them because the larger box produces a "louder" sound!.
Other good reliable labels that compete with Takamine are:
Yamaha, Alvarez, Ibanez, Washburn!. and a few more within the same price range as Takamine!.
Try a few to find the one that feels more "playable" to you!.

I won't put much stock on what "singers and musicians" use
One of my good friends was a player with the Greatful Dead
group of Jerry Garcia (RIP) and he was saying that most guitar companies (but not all) offer them free instruments just for the chance to get "free advertisement" when they were on
stage and the audience saw what equipment was being use!.

The best way is for you to try a few and then decide!.

Good Luck and Enjoy whatever guitar you choose!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
