What are some good Cutaway Acoustic guitars in the 300 dollar price range?

Question

Ive been playing guitar for a few years now. I started out on a 2000 dollar taylor and a 3000 dollar taylor (yeah, i know. me and my sister both got them from my dead uncle when he died). Then I bought a mexician fender and then i slowly started getting into more instruments so i bought an Ibanez bass and two ukuleles. Lately I've been playing alot of guitar again so I wanna buy one that i can lug around to friends houses and such.

So, although i know a bit about shopping for guitars, I feel i dont really know enough. Can anyone recommend a guitar/ give me suggestions on what to look for in a guitar. Heres some facts to help you:
I'm willing to spend around 300 dollars for the guitar, I'm going to be lugging it around after all
I'll be playing acoustic rock/blues. So I want my power chords to sound just as good as my pentatonic scale and my open chords.
I usually prefer an almost earthy sound
I hate guitars that dont ring out

Any suggestions/ specific guitars?

Answer 1

C.F. Martin co. has a line of guitars called Sigma .
I have a Sigma DR-7 I bought used for $250.
The C.F. Martin logo is stamped in the binder inside the sound hole.
This guitar has so much resonence and depth that I had a shop place a hidden pick-up inside so i can plug it in if i like.
i have never heard any other guitar come close to the richness of this one.
