I don’t know much about acoustic guitars really, I tend to buy to my budget and get what sounds best for what I’m trying achieve. For big strummy type things I like my Epi J200, for finger style, my Simon & Patrick Rosewood Folk Pro fits the bill. As you seem to wanting to spend a decent amount, I’m going to throw Lowden into the mix only because I like how Richard Thompson sounds, both finger style and flat picking.
