Replying to Guitarists! I need your advice!

Hello, im looking to buy a new acousitc guitar for myself. I have been playing for 3-4 years and am not a beginner so a higher end investment would be well worth it. I play pretty laid back music, not a lot of classic or anything to radical on the other sid eof the spectrum. I play a lot of jack johnson and music similar to this. I was just wondering what kind of guitar you would recomend, maybe not even a specific model, but a company, any advice that you have to contribute will be greatly appreciated. Looking for a price range of under 1500. Thanks alot.
