As a session player, you can certainly show up with your D in a situation like that and place the onus on the engineer. "Here you go. I pitch it, you catch it." But the outcome is unlikely to be ideal. And the likelihood of your engendering disfavor among the others in the room will be high.

I'm not saying that every guitar is as easy to record as any other. I'm saying that every quality guitar CAN be recorded well. Thousands of great sounding albums recorded with Martin dreads prove that point.
