My first acoustic guitar was this, it's straight acoustic though.

Fender FA-115 Click Here Because OMG Amazon Links Are Huge (that's not what she said). Might be a bit over your price range, but it's a solid guitar made by one of the best companies.

You can also check around locally for a used one, sometimes you can get a good deal on a guitar to try and see if you like it. Can always resell it later if it's not your thing.
