I do start with a completely blank channel strip. Then I do subtractive EQ before adding compression, any other effects, and more EQ to enhance.
I'll try and find some time (day job and kids) to capture a couple samples and then post them here.

Suspect the potential for a fatter, less harsh sound greater if you record with spaced pair mike placements for solo guitar recordings. One mike or a pair of coincident mikes is more greatly affected by different areas of the guitar output reaching the mike out of phase. More easy for the brain to convert part of that phase issue problem into a sense of space and direction with stereo non-coincident recording (IMO).
