Yes, I left the mics panned center just for tonal comparison, if I'd panned them apart, it would have been much easier to tell the guitars apart! I don't pan them together when I am mixing a song.
I don't think there is much of a phase issue with both mics the same distance from the guitar - I just compared the recording switching between panned/mono and only the 'space' changed.
