Acoustic guitar for professional?

[HazzerX]

Hi everyone, I'm an electric guitar player but don't know much about acoustics so I need some help. I uploaded this cover recently (please check it out) but I think an acoustic would do me better for songs like it:

Harry Court "Everything Has Changed" (Taylor Swift & Ed Sheeran cover) 14 years old - YouTube

So what's a good acoustic for John Mayer kind of style for a gigging musician,

Many thanks,
Harry

What's your budget? You say 'gigging', so assume you need an acoustic/electric? There are many choices, so you need to get to a music store and try out a bunch of instruments in your price range. Different necks have different feels, different woods have different sounds, as do different pickup systems. There are different body sizes ..... so many choices!

At 14 you're a gigging musician?

How much money do you want to spend? You should be able to get a professional quality instrument that would suit a gigging musician such as yourself for a couple of grand, I reckon...

$3400

Martin OMJM John Mayer Acoustic-Electric Guitar | Musician's Friend

That's cheaper than Dave Matthews Taylor 914e at $4500!!!

Stop picking on my bad typing! Why did Dvorak(?) put the m and n next to each other and then make my aging eyesight so poor I can't see the difference without leaning into the monitor?

My new acoustic (highly recommended for the under $2K price range!)

Thanks for all the replies. Sorry I should of stated my price range, basically anything under £1000 really, I do quite a few gigs so I will need an electro-acoustic. Anyone played any Stonebridge's before?

My first reply was a little tongue in cheek. I've got the Martin DCX-1E and it sounds great acoustically. Haven't gigged with it, so not sure how the pickup works through a PA. It's well within your price range.
