honestly it's not that much better than an $800 taylor or a sweet gibson. I'd try and find a good deal on an old gibson or any taylor and you'll be fine. I just got this one cause I've never seen another one like it and GAS. Taylor 214's are great and my brother has a 310 I believe that sounds great

It's a custom Taylor acoustic . Grand Auditorium shape I believe, madagascar rosewood body I think and camel bone nut and pins, ebony fret board with no binding around the sound hole. I'll have to look at the inside to see for sure cause I'm at work right now. It was about $3500 which isn't too bad in pounds
