Well let's say you put 5 mics on a guitar, each one on a separate track, then come back after recording and listen to each track separately, choose the one that sounds the best and mute the rest....that would work without any phase issues. What you're doing is just auditioning mics and mic positions. Take it a step further and try blending two mics together and you may come up with a great sound. I know that my Blizzard 4000 mic and Neumann TLM 102 sound great together. I found this out by experimenting with many various sound test recordings.
