What guitar maker do you recommend?
From these: Taylor, Fender, Fernandez,Ibanez,Yamaha,Gibson
Or do you have other recommendations?
Something for intermediate guitar players, not the beginner ones, please.
Thanks!

If you’re looking for a guitar between $1,000 and $2,500, then I’d say look at Taylor, Martin, or Larrivee (possibly Gibson if you like them but they’re overpriced for what you get in my opinion).
If you’re looking over $2,500 then, yes, look at a hand made guitar by Jim Olson, Santa Cruz, McPherson (good luck finding one under $5,000), Froggy Bottom, Goodall, etc. A lot of professional guitarists play those, but they might be overkill for an intermediate guitarist.

If you’re trying to stick under $1,000 (probably a good price range for intermediate guitarists) then I’d try these:
Seagull (great guitars around $500)
Breedlove
Takamine
Taylor 114ce (their low end but a great sounding instrument for the money)

If you’re looking right around $500 then Yamaha or Takamine are good.

Under $500 you won’t find a very good guitar for an intermediate player, although I’ve heard Walden guitars are pretty decent and I’ve seen them around $300 with a solid spruce top. I’ve never actually played one though.

Sorry, I’ve played a few Ibanez and Fender acoustics and don’t like them at all. They make great electric guitars though. Never played a Fernandez, so I can’t comment on them.

Van Halen – Jump – Igor Presnyakov – acoustic guitar
