Looks like you like the smooth jazz played on acoustic guitar. The first person that comes to mind is Dave Grusin, he practically invented that style. I'll try to think of more and get back to you. In the mean time, you might want to check our Pop Jazz section.

Craig Chaquico released several very popular acoustic guitar jazz albums. If you think the name is familiar, its the same guy from the early Jefferson Airplane.
George Benson will play acoustic occasionally, his recent album "Guitar Man" had a few acoustic numbers.

It takes a while to remember these things sometimes, but the other big name in acoustic guitar smooth jazz is Earl Klugh. Just like Grusin, some albums may be electric, but its always mellow.
Also Charlie Byrd, which reminds me, you may also want to check out the whole Bossa Nova scene, lots of jazzy acoustic guitar there.

Also George Benson's 'White Rabbit' album is a great one for acoustic guitar, with a pop feel
