What kind of high quality acoustic guitar should I consider buying?

Question

I have played for 25 years on and off. More off but sometimes on.
I have had a nice epiphone acoustic in my teens. I currently have and play a JS 1000 Ibanez electric.

I want to get a *NICE* acoustic, I am not rich, but I realize it is going to be an investment starting at $2000.00.

Of the Martin's, Guild, Taylor guitars or other brands, which brand or model should be considered over the others. I live in CT if that makes a difference.

Honestly I paid $1000.00 for my electric and I am NOT that impressed in hindsight (even has 1 bad fret), I obviously don't want to make the same mistake again with my Acoustic Guitar purchase.

Thanks

Answer 1

stick with a taylor. i'd have one but i can't afford it. my brother in law has one, i can't recall the model, i think it was one of the more rare ones they made, but it only cost him i think like $2500. its made out of some brazillian wood and mahogany. its an elecrtc acoustic. ive played gibsons, epiphones, martins, but there just aint nothin that plays like his taylor.

Answer 2

Takamine makes arguably the best low quality guitars. I personally would spend about $400 and get a Seagull, because they are amazing guitars.

Answer 3

Have you considered an Ovation? Try one, they're amazing. My opinion, but unless you get a handmade, you can't do better.

Answer 4

try a gibson rasewood highly recomended,some good examples on e bay
