Preferably dreadnought cutaway, maybe something like the Taylor 214 but cutaway. Laminated or non-laminated is fine, sunburst if fine just not black.
Answer
The Taylor 214 is NOT a dreadnought, it's an auditorium, which is why it sounds so good. That's my favorite guitar in that price range. Go for it. The 214ce is another $200 but it has the ES electronics and a cutaway, which is a real bargain.

Answer
Acoustic guitars (either nylon strings or steel strings) are a good choice for a beginner student.
Try to play/strum the instruments your are considering and listen closely to the sound projected and the sustain - how long the sound "holds".
Most laminated top guitars will cost you less but the sound is not as "clear" as a solid-top guitar.
You can find good playable laminated guitars within the $125 to $175.price range.The solid-top guitar will cost you a little bit more starting around $200.
Be Aware that most guitars (solid-top OR laminated) selling
for under $800.are factory-made overseas,mostly from Asia.
They are getting better all the time and offer good values but
don't shop labels in this price range because one factory may produce various "brands" side by side at the same time.
Choose by "sound"- not by "looks"
Let your ears not your eyes do the choosing.(Eyes take 2nd Place)
How does it feels when you handle the instrument?
If you aleady know what you want many internet stores offer good values and good return warranties. You can try some of them also.
Good Luck in you search and enjoy whatever guitar you get.
