With a spaced pair of mikes when you pan right and left stereo channels towards the middle you will get comb filtering to some
degree which then thins out the sound a bit.
Panning towards the middle is a trade off to get a more fixed location for the guitar sound, and if you fiddle with the mike locations
perhaps better mono compatibility. I prefer not to pan and try to reduce a lack of location focus by mike placement.
