Kev, thanks for that. Glad to know we are on the same page at least in regards to what I was trying to talk about and not having me read yet more mundane principles of a recording setup.
Regarding time interval variance of sound arriving at a mike from different parts of the guitar, it would be quite noticeable IMO -we know how much difference slight movements of mike position can make for example. I agree more directional mikes (say hypercardioid) might address the issue somewhat but the recordings still may not sound that good due to other issues such as decreased ambiance, increased proximity effects, ect.
