Just play all the guitars you possibly can that are in your price range until you find one you like

I dunno about that price range but I can just tell you that you HAVE to go play them.

I played a Martin 000C-16GTE Premium today figuring it could compare to a Taylor 314ce. Not even close. Completely different sounds.

The only way to know that is to play it.

Here's another example. I played two different 714CEs ... On one the action was so high and the strings so thick that I played about 30 seconds and put it down ... Then I picked up another 714ce and played that for a good 5 mins. One sounded bright and the other one with the high action sounded like there was a wet sock over the soundhole.

You gotta play them. Which is why I won't buy an acoustic online. There's just no way to tell.
