Which guitar now?
Ok, I have seen this before, but I guess it’s MY turn.
I am shopping again. Have a $2-$3K budget for a decent acoustic/electric. I have a later Ovation and a Taylor 814ce that I like. I am thinking about trying the Takamine P7DNC. I had a TNV360 SC that is fondly remembered. Or perhaps a Maple body Jumbo/dred. Fit and finish, tone and good electronics is all I need (hahaha). Like a 914ce at a 314 price. I am open to many types, including carbon fiber. Armed with this information, what might you suggest? Really wanting new…. Thanks, and be kind….

What type of music do you play? Preference on tone woods? Neck shape, nut width? Cutaway or non? Body size and shape? If you give us a little more to go on, you'll probably get more helpful suggestions.

Since you mentioned CF, I would strongly advise you to at least dip a toe and check them out. While I do and will continue to have wood acoustics, my workhorses are my Emerald X7 and Rainsong Shorty SG. While Rainsong no longer makes the CH and other lower-priced series, but I would feel more comfortable about buying a used CF than a used wood guitar because of their greater durability.
You could also check out a McPherson touring - right in your price range. While I haven't played one, many folks on the CF forum here attest that they are almost identical in tone (although perhaps not volume) to the > $3K Sable. Also, Klos has both full-size and travel CFs in your price range. If you are interested in the ultimate in travel guitars, there is always the Journey OF-660 = which falls under your price range. The higher-end Taks (heck - even the lower-priced ones) are fantastic guitars, and you sure can't go wrong with one of them, but I think you owe it to yourself to at least check out a CF if you have the opportunity.

For a maple body jumbo look into the Eastman AC630BD.

IMO the Eastman AC630 is straight up beautiful. I mean, OMG that flame maple. Check out the YouTube video to listen to that tone. And at under $2250 it's a Gibson J-200 killer. https://youtu.be/DWcmcKlXT9Mhttps://...be/DWcmcKlXT9M
