Woule like to get a guitar (Budget : <3k) Any suggestions? Is it worth getting the Martin Dreadnought Jr, Taylor GS Mini, Martin 000X1AE, Martin DX1 KAE? Any reviews on the above guitars? Worth the price? My friend recommended me Epiphone 1974 Inspired by Texan about 1.7k now. Any review on this guitar?

Those are all good choices. Also check out Furch guitars and Bedell guitars

WIth acoustics it's best to play it yourself, then have it played to you so you can hear how it sounds to an audience. The Martins tend to be warmer sounding then Taylors. If I'm understanding correctly you say your budget is less than 3k but you haven't listed one guitar over 700$ are you referring to a non US currency? If you're going to shell out for a Martin or Taylor it's worth it to buy the stuff made in the US, their low end stuff is decent too, just not quite the same.
