Help a sister out!

Hey! I am new to the wonderful world of guitars and am trying to buy my first guitar. Do you guys have any suggestions? I am looking at a Yamaha FG403S. Any tips or suggestions. It is a solid top, classic looking acousitic guitar. I was playing around at the guitar shop downtown and it resonated so much better than the laminate (cheaper) counter part that was standing beside it. I loved the sound, but I also wish it came in a sandburst or sunburst color. I am not so excited of the traditional look- maybe that is just being superficial. I don't know if it is better to pay the extra for the different look? So many decisions!

what price range?

If it feels good, play's good, and sounds good, then you've found your guitar. Looks aren't everything, but they are nice. So, all I can say is, if you find one that looks "pretty" and it play's just as nice and sounds just as nice, then why not... Good Luck!

In my experience, Yamaha makes great guitars. I have a Yamaha Student Classical (model C-40) myself, and it plays nice...not beautifully (I think it's priced around $75 - $100), but nice. Another inexpensive brand I'd recommend is Seagull. They play as nice as some other brands 2-3 times the price range. The classical strings are gonna be easier on your fingers, but they have a different tone than steel strings. Classicals also have wider fretboards with more space between strings, so play whichever is more combfortable to you, and don't be afraid to pick a pretty one...if you don't like how it looks, you won't wanna pick it up.
