just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
One tip I picked up a few years ago was to try dropping standard tuning down a full step. It certainly brought the Jim Dandy to life as a blues machine lot more growl and bottom-end sounds totally wimpy in standard. I have tried with others and some guitars it suits, others it does not.
This is the golden age of acoustic guitars Harley Benton does have a few tempting parlors but in the sub £200 quid point you have some nice guitars but if you like cheap bling this one stood out to me.

I've never owned a parlour and barely even even played one. Obviously, I should do something about that.
(Although I do have one fairly small guitar manufacturer-billed as a "grand auditorium" which is really an OM, but for some reason I can't put my finger on it always feels smaller than any of the others. I measured it just now and it isn't: Anyway, it is a rather quiet guitar with lovely tone: i I guess it's my "quasi-parlour". It's certainly my go-to instrument for a little quiet playing late at night.)
So I can buy a few? Three or four, perhaps?
This has immediately improved the tone of the guitar. It sounds a bit fuller and slightly less boxy. I suppose on a smaller bodied guitar where every bit of the soundboard is needed, dampening a significant portion of it with plasticky plastic does rob enough of the vibration to be noticeable.
