F310
The Yamaha F310 is probably the most-sold beginner acoustic guitar on Earth — spruce top with meranti back/sides, dreadnought body, and Yamaha's Indonesian-factory QC that makes it reliable out of the box. Nothing fancy, but the string action, fret finish, and tuning stability shame every competitor at the price point.
