Pro Tips

Alternate between picking and fingering techniques when recording - does one sound better on the recording than the other? And if picking seems too obtrusive, does moving the mic help?

You can also experiment with multiple mics too. Try using one at the hole for warmth and another at the neck for brightness. Alternatively, try a couple of mics placed centrally, pointing towards opposite ends of the guitar body - these signals can later be panned for a stereo effect.
