Those are both much better, Barry. When it comes to mixing and editing, it probably helps to follow the medical oath - "first, do no harm" :-) Maybe the recording equivalent would be "don't touch those dials". A stereo recording of a nice tune with a good-sounding guitar in a decent acoustic space should sound quite good with no extra processing. Especially if you're not mixing/mastering over good speakers in a good acoustic space, it's really easy to do more harm than good.
