For solo acoustic guitar I prefer a spared pair setup, as you are doing. I have one mic panned hard left and the other hard right. To get a wider stereo field I will move the mics further apart, or closer together to narrow the field. For home recording I’ll also put a high pass filter set to 50-60Hz on each input. I’d suggest getting your recordings as good as possible before you add E/Q or other effects. Experiment with setting up in different locations/ orientations within your room.
Your LDC mic may pick up more ‘mud’ from your room than your sdc. Without any treatment you may not be able to mic further than 12-18” from your guitar.
