which accoustic guitar should i buy?

Hey members,
I am new to guitar! and I don't know if I like to play acoustic guitar or electric guitar yet...but probably leaning towardd playing acoustics...I am planning to buy a good guitar with reasonable price less than $500? I like jason mraz and Colbie Caillat...so yeah help me out please.

I got a Big Baby Taylor BBT for 400$, which is a fantastic guitar... sounds better than a 1000$ guitar. Or, for that price you might go for a Cort acoustic guitar, which are just perfect as well.
In any case I suggest you to go to the store and try as many as you can, you'll find out which one is the right guitar for you.

I will try some guitars at store.

If you are ever planning to get good at playing guitar (anything more then playing a couple of chords by a campfire) you should really consider starting on a CLASSIC guitar. Even if you decide to later play on electric guitar you should acquire the basic skills on classic guitar.
I play an electric guitar for over 10 years but I still practice A LOT on classic guitar (I never play it in public/on gigs though).

If you just want to learn a couple of chords then go ahead, buy a cheap acoustic guitar, learn chords in 2 weeks and thats it. But I don't see how you would benefit from starting on an acoustic guitar for anything beyond that.
