Looking for a nice sounding acoustic guitar ?

I've been playing guitar for about 8 months now, using a epiphone DR-100/VS I bought for about $150. It was a great guitar to start out with, but it doesn't have the sound I want. What I mean by that is it sounds about high and is not nearly as deep as many other guitars I have heard. My uncle who has been playing guitar for years said the frets need to be filed down also. I have already changed the strings to a deeper set, but I'm still not getting that deep rich sound I want to hear.

I'm now looking for a new guitar, my price range is somewhere between $300-$500. Does anyone know of any good sounding guitars? I like to play a lot of john Mayer if that helps, thanks :)

    Your best bet is to walk into a store and try out their selection of acoustic guitars. Who knows which guitar you're going to like the most? I sure don't. I could give you neat tips about which brands and models I prefer, but I don't think it'll really help you get what will work best for you.

    Just go in, sit down, and play through the available guitars. Judge them on their tone, how easily they play, and their appearance. That's all that really matters (if the best sounding and playing guitar in the room is godawfully ugly, you know you'll want something a little more attractive). But that is by far the best way to get a guitar that will work well for you, your playing style, and what you're trying to do. Different people do best with different guitars. It's impossible for me to tell you over the internet what you should get. Well, I could say, but I don't think it'd be possible for me to give good advice.

    Sorry, yet i are not getting it. what's the element? the element is how a guitar sounds, no longer the way it seems. The sound hollow is the place it is for an extremely reliable reason - it sounds terrific that way. Even the dreadnaught shape is extra advantageous than something, for my area. I even have tried countless guitars with countless shapes, yet in all situations the guitar looses heat temperature and sounds extra treble or mid variety. Now, in case you're gigging, you ought to wish simply by fact the different contraptions will combat over the low variety, however the guitar itself won't sound as reliable.
