Default Recording acoustic played w/ Flesh and Nail

I've been gearing up to record some acoustic based songs and I've been having a hard time getting the sound recorded that I hear when I play with my fingers in the room.

With no picks, just flesh and nail the low end can be woofy and undefined, if you try to cut that out you can brighten the attack, makes it sound unnatural.

Recording a variety of small body guitars, Waterloo WL-12, Martin 00-15m, John How LBC, a Resonator,, Pono parlor 12,...

A friend suggested a AT 4031 for a mid priced pencil condenser for the neck joint area and by it's self, it's not there so I've been trying to find a dynamic to balance the sound from the body. What I've evened up buying w/ some research was a Shure 57a beta.
