My apologies for a very basic question - do you track with headphones?
For me, I strum/pick and adjust my position relative to the mics, walls, etc. and listen through headphones. Then I pick the position that sounds best to my ears and try to not move too much when I hit record.

I want to thank all who have commented. After playing around and around with the two mic thing, I've decided that for what I do it's just not worth it.
Here's a recording (no vocals yet) of what I've been working on using as careful a single mic placement as I can do.

I like the sound you got on the stereo track, tho it doesn't seem to sound like normal XY. It's quite wide, with significant phase differences, more like a very wide spaced pair than XY, almost too wide.
I'm not sure about the "not worth it" thing, tho in your later example, it's more of a full-band sound, where the more common thing is to record the guitar as mono and create a sound stage by panning individual instruments, so if that's the goal, I'd agree, just do the guitar as mono. If acoustic fingerpicked guitar is the featured instrument, stereo would be more useful.
