Consider me a Sophomore Rookie player - not good yet but trying. Highly interested in fingerstyle- masters Atkins, Reed, Knopfler, Emmanuel all role models. I like anything that was on vinyl, 8 track, or cassettes. Ha! With my j45 having zebrawood what should give best tone vary? Should my next focus be on a good smaller 00/gc size or go opposite and do a jumbo? Is a Budget $1000 enough or wasted money and I need to save up? Ideas? I know this is general and vague but my cash flow is limited so i am Plotting a path!
Welcome to AGF!

If you're playing primarily fingerstyle, I would look for a smaller size guitar. How small is up to you. I had a 000-18 Martin as well as a 00-18 and preferred the 00-18 for fingerpicking. On the other hand, a 0-18 that I played at a local store just seemed too small sounding to me. I don't have any experience in the $1000 price range but I would guess that there are nice guitars in that range, particularly used.
