First you must say what type of music you wish to play.  If you wish to play 
blues on a diatonic harmonica or popular music on a chromatic, then a 
steel-stringed guitar played with a flat pick is a natural choice.

IF you choose to play another genre such as classical or folk, then a 
nylon-stringed classical-style finger-picked guitar would be a natural but 
not the only choice.

If you plan to play harmonica on a rack and accompany yourself on guitar, 
then you should visit
my harmonica website www.Hands-Free-Chromatic.7p.com  For rack playing, I 
prefer a slightly smaller guitar.  IF you have never played guitar before 
and you only plan to strum some chords along with the harmonica, you might 
consider a four-stringed guitar or even a ukulele. These are less demanding 
of finger dexterity, strength, and amount of practice.

There are hundreds of manufacturers of guitars.  It is difficult to give you 
meaningful advice without knowing your musical aspirations with harmonica 
and guitar.
