A bit, but with two mics in a spaced pair, Blumlein, or XY, configuration (and I think one of those is what was used here), you're going to hear something different from each side. You'll get more bottom end from the mic pointing towards the body and more top end from the mic pointing at the fret board. In the OP's example, I think the mixer may have EQed the tracks to make them sound a bit closer than the raw recording. I could be wrong about that, and wiser heads are welcome to say so, but I think that's what I'm hearing there.
