I have had great success with 3 different acoustics using the same AKG C214 mic. It all came down to mic placement with all 3 being different. I found it much easier to leave the mic stationary and with headphones on move around with the guitar while playing to find the best angle and distance to achieve the tone your looking for.
More frustrating was finding the best pic for strumming that made the least amount of noise. On 1 song that required a very warm tone with no pick noise I ended up strumming with my index finger out of desperation and ended up sounding great.
Now when recording a new song I do a sample with all 4 of my acoustics and choose the best fit.
