You'll be able to know after a few trips of trying out guitars which of them fits into your exact needs, and then people like tiecollector or Who could easily tell you if the one you're looking at is a good pick or not based on its price, maintenance, value, etc.If this helps, I'm looking for a basic balanced dread, middle of the road, not too airy, not too bright, not too deep sounding. Pretty much your average well-rounded guitar, but built to last and good quality. Also, not classical, most of what I play is either Radiohead or the Beatles, I just have some interest in learning the proper elements of guitar.
Brian- It sounds like you pretty well know what you're looking for, except for an actual brand. I'd say just go to a few stores and try out a bunch of different brands.

Cool guitar, Who.
Where would I be able to find Larrivee or Tacoma? I went to GC and tried out quite a few guitars, and I did get a feeling of what Who was saying about lower end Taylors, it did sound a bit "chunkier." Overall, my favorite guitar was the Martin DM, but a quick look on Harmony Central doesn't have that fantastic of reviews for it. I did find through conversation with the GC employees and multiple tries of different guitars that my definition of "average, not too bright, not too deep, not too airy" is a very deep, percussive sound.
And btw, Thom used/uses a Yamaha.
****. This is a mindfuck now.
Thanks Brian, that's incredibly helpful. I'm looking forward to checking that out.
