    First thing I would do is find a good acoustic guitar tech/luthier. Most any guitar of any price range can be made to play to your preference if done properly by a skilled technician.

    The sound can change depending on various factors including string choice and changing atmospheric conditions.

    Go play a few and pick the one that speaks to you.

    Some guitars have great factory setups. Others do not. Even from the same brand/model/factory.

      Good suggestion. They're wooden objects so, like pianos, there will be variations. An illustration of what I mean would be easier with electrics. I find Fenders much easier to play than Les Pauls, which have a higher action and require more strength, at leas the ones I've played.

        The Fender probably had a good setup and the Les Paul probably did not. Or at least not to your preference. All guitars acoustic or electric, need proper setup and maintenance.

          I bought an American made Strat this year. It's lovely.

          From what I've been told, quality control on Les Pauls is pretty woeful, particularly for the price. You can get a really nice one, and you can get a horror show for the same money.

              I was going to make a joke about foreign knock-offs but decided against it.

                  I suppose no one is interested in a Mexican or Chinese import.

                      Eastman makes a nice solid wood acoustic. They are out of China.

                      My go to is Larrivée. Made in Oxnard, California.

                        I may just borrow one from my brother for a while to see if it sticks.
