Here's a couple examples. This is my kind of acoustic guitar sound. I'm not sure if I've posted these clips before on here anywhere, but these are IMO good examples of what we're talking about.
The first clip is using the XY technique. You're hearing a rhythm acoustic guitar and a lead acoustic guitar, both miked in stereo XY at the 12th fret. This is a short clip from the song "Boundaries" off my next disc:
The second clip is using the other technique I mentioned in my last post, where we're using mono tracks, more takes w/ different mic positions, and layering the takes. Also of note on this clip, I purposely have the guitar set up with bright fresh strings for the highest three, and darker duller 'played' strings for the lower three. I wanted a dark bottom end with a sparkling high for this part. This is a clip from the intro to "Dorian Gray":
Enjoy
