Of course it’s difficult on some levels because everyone likes different things in acoustic sounds. I have 3 I’ve recorded over the years that certainly for me, we’re extremely good in a recording scenario. The first was a very old J-45. It just excelled with almost any mic although a little post eq was needed since it had some below 300hz overtones. Still the end results were very, very good. Similarly, although widely hated here on this forum, is my PRS Angelus. I never have to work too terribly hard to make it sound great and it’s one of those wonderful sounds we're the fundamentals are there and the highs just seem to bloom out of the fundamentals.
Probably the best over all guitar for recording I’ve ever encountered and required almost zero post work was a friends 60’s Martin OOO-18. Spectacular in every way!
