The steel string sounds pretty bad too - I had to keep watching in hopes of an improvement :-) Maybe he just EQ'd the whole video in an odd way, since everything sounds so thin. The nylon string is better, tho. In any case, it's an example of how the gear alone doesn't mean you'll get a good sound. We've got pretty different tones from the same mic.
