Im jumping in head first with a small amount of recording knowledge. Im recording guitar, vocals, drums and strings. Im looking to get a good quality acoustic guitar tone. Im not sure how to EQ and make it sound beautiful so i figured asking wouldnt hurt. Thanks!!

The Reaper forums are chock full of advice.
My recommendation for ANY type of recording is to use the best mic(s) you have and record flat, using good mic technique obviously. There are a few topics here that have good information on proper mic technique and what configuration you might try to get the sound you're envisioning. Any EQ or effects should be done in the mix. You want a clean and dry signal for a good starting point to work from. |

If your guitar sounds good acoustically and you have any half-decent mic(s), then you should need minimum EQ on the guitar. IF (big if) you are recording in an acoustically treated room!
Check out the user forums at homerecording.com - tons of good advice there. Here's a thread just on acoustic guitar recording.

The way to make it sound the best is to make the right decisions prior to hitting the record button. It takes time and patience to test your setup, but I'd rather spend time setting up to record than time tweaking EQ on an unbalanced recording
