Actually Rick and Doug have a point, that (head between mic's face on the guitar) is not necessarily the case, it depends on where the mics are positioned.
Many if not most stereo solo acoustic guitar recordings are panned hard L and R
As soon as you bring in other tracks then often that hard panning is not used
