The trouble with your demos is that the 90 percent is so darned good the rest doesn't matter, at least as long as the mics are pointed at the guitar.

Thanks for the kind words. I do find that in most cases, when I'm not liking a recording, it's not the gear, it's me - if I work on playing better, somehow the mics start doing their part better, too.
