I don't know if you're still working on this MikeGee, but in general when micing from the front with a pretty directional mic, there is a noticable spectrum that you can sweep.

Start with the mic pointed at the twelfth fret from about two feet out and up a bit. As you sweep toward the sound hole, you'll get more body and lows. As you sweep up the neck, you'll get more high and fret noise. If you get a sound you like with two much fret noise, try pointing at the same spot on the guitar from a placement a little more off axis.

If you are a guitarist that moves around a ton, Dagosto's technique is going to work better.

hope this helps!
