I highly recommend guitars by my good friend Aaron Ringo at Wood Ring Guitars. Aaron's instruments are some of the finest, most beautifully crafted instruments I have ever had the pleasure to play, and he has saved the day when I have had serious damage that needed work. If you are in the market for a new instrument, you have to play one of his guitars. If you see him around at guitar events like the UT Dallas Guitar Festival or the GFA, tell him I said hi!
