If I were to buy an acoustic guitar today I'd look at a RainSong. They're weird black carbon fiber guitars but they sound amazing. Like, astoundingly amazing. I played one maybe 15 years ago in a store in Nashville and I'm still haunted by it today.I can’t offer any help to fix your acoustic guitar issue but I bought a Lake Placid Blue Johnny Marr Signature Jaguar about 4 months ago and it’s the best gift I’ve every bought for myself.
It's a little bit down my list after the new Moog, a Chapman Stick, and a house, so maybe fourth or fifth place or so. But still.
Oh, and they are not inexpensive. By the way.
