For a second guitar, I’d look more towards Mahogany as a complement. Martin 15s, 18s, or a Gibson J45... especially the current Original Series or Custom Shop series. I have a J45 TV from 2012 I believe. My best instrument.

By the way I also have a few Martin 15 series, and the 00 is perhaps the most playable and comfortable guitar I own.

A Santa Cruz OM/PW is an awesome and extremely versatile guitar.

I'm not sure what you're looking for in a second guitar but several mahogany Martins come to mind. Perhaps check out a CEO 7 which is a 00 or the 'do it all well' 000-18 to compliment your already awesome Boucher.

Also check out Collings, Martin, Goodall, Huss & Dalton, Bourgeois, Olson, and Taylor.

But seriously, without any parameters to go on, folks are just going to recommend guitars that they like (as I did above)

We really do need more details about your budget, playing style, size preference, visual preferences and so on.

With no details in your first post, you literally just asked "what guitar do I buy?"

Might as well ask us what to have for dinner tomorrow night. (I would go for a big steak)

If it was me (when it was me, 40+ years ago) I wanted (still want) variety. I'll never own two dreds, or two of the same of anything.

I first bought a cheap 6 string dreadnaught, followed by a nicer 12 string, followed by a great electric......
Followed many years later by an archtop, then a gypsy jazz box, then a spider bridge resonator.

Nothing else out there that I'm gassing for currently.
