The question of 1 or 2 mics on guitar - for me, YMMV - depends on what else is going to be in the mix in the end. If its just that one guitar (or no more than 1 other acoustic mixed in, with maybe some percussion and/or a bass), then 2 mics is best. However, if there are going to be multiple instruments, and the acoustic is just one part of the whole song, then 1 mic works fine.

So in a roundabout way, that's my answer on 2 or 3 mics for guitar + singer (which would never be my choice for recording anything but a demo) - I always record parts separately, then no bleed to worry about.
