I don't see why you want the best acoustic tone you can buy, but when it comes to Electrics it doesn't matter.
Some people are obsessed with tone. But some of us believe that it’s really about the performance (and the tone of the guitar is just one aspect of that), and that 99.99% of your audience can’t distinguish and/or don’t care about tiny incremental “improvements” in tone.

And keep in mind that the vast majority of us here don’t own $10,000 acoustics and never will. A lot of us have much more modest guitars and are happy with them. For example, my Martin CEO-7 is more guitar than I need and is certainly more than I ever thought I’d own. And I could spend a small fortune chasing better sound but, in the end, does a different guitar really sound better or does it just sound different?

For a bedroom player like me (and, probably, most of us here), if it sounds good enough TO ME, that’s all that matters. Chasing sound can be fun, but to a large extent it’s just “gilding a lily.”
