Hi KGS

Yes, there are potentially multiple problems with recording guitars in front of a desk.

If you are not planning on building your career around making home recordings, you'll probably be fine to just use the boom arm and your existing mics. Sounds to me like you are going for fun and convenience.

Your Nt1a and SE2a, you can get pretty good sounding recordings using your interface. You will likely not know what issues a desk creates until/unless you record in a better space.

Most people don't recognize what room reflection sounds like in recordings. They mostly listen to most of their own music on their phone, laptop, computer, or car.

Get decent speakers, and put them in a decently treated area, and it can open up another expensive can-o-worms and obsession.
