Rather than suggest specific recordings for you to try, I'm going to focus instead on acoustic guitarists, both classical and jazz:
1. Classical and flamenco guitarists: Andres Segovia; Manitas de Plata; the Romeros (look for their 1960's recordings on Mercury's "Living Presence" re-issue CD's); Christopher Parkening (perhaps the greatest living classical guitarist).
2. Jazz/world/miscellaneous: Django Reinhart (the brilliant Gypsy jazz guitarist from the 1930's and 1940's); Charlie Byrd (almost any of his recordings on Riverside or Concord); Egberto Gismonti.
You might find the following Web site on acoustic guitarists of interest:

Many years ago, while in high school, I took some lessons from Charlie Byrd, and have loved the acoustic guitar ever since. I hope you will share your comments with us as you discover new artists or recordings that you particularly like.
