read the reviews section of the site. Most brands are quite diverse as far as models go. The model you want might turn out to be a huge hit or a major flop, and most makers usually have both.

Washburns aren't bad guitars at all, but I'd look at a model with a solid top. Other than that they have some really nice features and a decent tone. I really like the J28 jumbo and I played a really nice dread about a year ago that had one of those fancy butterfly bridges. I think it was a D52SW but I'm not sure:

Washburn solid wood Timberland dreadnoughts

Washburn Cumberland J28 jumbos

Washburn makes nice guitars. You can buy one with a solid top for around $200.

Studyscoot makes a good point.
As well you should play a lot of different guitars and hear what sounds & feels good to you - to get the tone that you want.
I own Washburn soild top dreadnought that I got (in a trade) in college and use it when I'm camping, on the our boat, and around our pool. Its a great outdoor guitar & gets played alot during the summer months by me & friends. It has seen better days but has aged well over the past 15 years. Its the one that I alway have in my truck.
I think that I had 5 accoustics b/4 I decided to start to spend more money on better accoustics.
Good look in finding your guitar.
