You can try that, but I suspect that won't be the best sound you can get. For stereo, you generally want 2 mics that are about the same distance from the guitar.

Starting with Bob Womack's diagrams is a good idea. Spaced pairs, which Rick is talking about, is more variable, two mics anywhere, tho typically at he 12-15th fret and below the saddle somewhere, but at about the same distance from the guitar. There are endless pages on the web that describe all these common mic positions. Just dive and in start trying them.
