The problem I'd anticipate with this sort of fine-grained tuning is that the performer is not the best judge of the sound the audience hears. If you're concerned about getting the best acoustic sound, I assume you're using a PA, not an acoustic amp. What you hear from behind the speakers bears almost no relationship to what the audience hears, and certainly isn't close enough to make this kind of fine-grained adjustment mid-song. Best to get a stage sound you can live with, and let a sound person do these dynamic adjustments while you're playing. If there's no sound person, you're sort of left guessing, and I'd tend to just do something during sound check to see if the sound is reasonably acceptable out front, and then leave it alone.
