Getting the best out of my setup

Here is my current setup.

Boucher 000
Guitar into Yamaha THR5A, set to pure LR Baggs Lyric sound (no microphone emulation and no effects).
Headphone output of the Yamaha into a Focusrite 2i2 interface.
AKG Perception 220 at 12th fret into the Focusrite interface.

The recording I included was both inputs in Audacity, both inputs center and nothing added.

Do you have tips to make my recording better?

Is your recording room treated acoustically?

Sorry, I can't listen to your recording right now, but here's a link to a song I recorded about a week ago, with the acoustic recorded with a single Perception 220 (actually two times, one panned left, one right) in a treated room.

That sounds reasonable. For some reason, tho you say everything is centered, the sound is heavily panned to the left. In general, using a pair of mics will sound better than a mic and a pickup, tho it all depends. And I don't know what this track is destined for - is it part of a mix with other instruments? Adding vocal? Or just solo guitar? Those things affect how you record and how you mix.

Sounds pretty good to me - clarity without harshness. What is a good sound is subjective and it's intended use (e.g. mix or solo) matters a great deal.
