I gotta second Michael Hedges. I like _Live_on_the_Double_Planet_ quite a
bit. And all the rest, of course.
Try some Leo Kottke, too. I only have a "best of", but I love it. I can do
without most of his songs w/vocals however.
And if you like the Yes stuff, try _The_Steve_Howe_Album_.
Some acoustic, some electric. All good. He's got about 100 or so albums
out.
A lot of Mike Oldfield's albums have acoustic sections/movements. If you're
into exquisite melodies and rich instrumentation, give him a listen.
_Ommadawn_ has lots of acoustic parts.
On the more Jazz side, check out Claude Bolling's
_Concerto_for_Classic_Guitar_and_Jazz_Piano_ with guitar by Angel Romero.
Excellent recording, too. It's one of my tube rolling benchmark albums.
Most stuff by Gregorio Paniagua and the Atrium Musicae de Madrid. This is
"ancient music." Very interesting, all of it very different from, sampling
one album isn't enough. On the Harmonia Mundi label. The recordings are as
good as they get.
Strunz and Far?ah make great Latin American flavored albums.
John McLaughlin wrote a Guitar Concerto.
Lots of New Age is acoustic, and despite its reputation as elevator music, is
very good. It's become a catch-all for lots of acoustic and electronica.
And, don't forget, classical is acoustic ;->

I've been mainly drawn to this music because of the details you can pick up from the acoustic playing, which seem more-so than anything electric, and anyway, it's really easy listening, and you can just kinda kick back with it and take a nap
