Given that you have challenges with that, I'd suggest micing in a way that maximizes the guitar and minimizes the room - close micing, right in front of the guitar (bridge and neck/body join). In difficult acoustic spaces, alternative mic placements are not usually your friend.

Not sure what you mean by watching the volume. You appear to be at about -18LUFS (of course, I'm seeing the SC stream, so who knows what your original file is). CD level would be -14 or -15, or 3-4db louder overall. So you're not extremely quiet, but it's certainly not loud.

Thanks Doug. The trebles are a little harsh, maybe its the strings. I've used the same mics and placement with my Avalon with better trebles to my ears. I'll play around with different strings for the Furch. Overall though I thought I was getting a much better result. Oh well.

Here's the Avalon with the same mics/placement/room:
