I am having trouble, i am the only one in the family that plays a guitar and i began 2 years ago, I have had a beginner guitar it has 19 frets,small but a good beginner, i am ready to move on from this small guitar to a larger one, and my family has no idea what to get me,so any recommendations? something under 1,000. Thanks!

The greatest sounding acoustic guitar's in my opinion are gibson, martin and taylor. Gibson is my absolute favorite, nothing matches the sound they get, to me. Unfortunately they're usually $2-5000, but they own a subsidiary company that make the cheaper version of their guitars called epiphone. for $5-800 you can get an amazing sounding epiphone that is modeled after a gibson, but you could also buy one that isn't as well crafted from $200-$400. Martin's and Taylor's both have plenty of great sounding guitar's under $1000 too, and those tend to be more trusted brand's than epiphone because epiphones are gibson knock off's. They should all be 21-22 fret, full sized guitars. I'm just assuming you meant acoustic, but if you wanted an electric, you can find a 22 fret les paul studio or sg from $800-$1000, or a fender american strat or tele for $700-$1000+, or a mexican fender strat or tele for $3-600, all of these guitars have great sounds that have been trusted by pro's for years.

Which acoustic guitar maker do you recommend?

Answer
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.
