Ah Ok, I guess it was the mismatch in the lighting that threw me

My only solution, (also done in my pickup tests) is to just try to be upfront about what was done and what was not done - "this is how these mics compare with this signal chain, this setup, in my room, with my guitar", nothing less, nothing more. Doesn't mean that the worst sounding mic wouldn't be the best sounding mic if you changed one variable, it just is what it is. The opposite solution might be to just to ask what gear was used in a recording you like and take note of it, even tho the sound may have been impacted in all kinds of ways you aren't aware of. This is how people end up buying the same guitar as their favorite rock star and so on, and then wonder why they don't sound like them, tho.. But maybe there's a better way?

I think you have to abandon the "one performance" concept. Instead, play something really short that you can do fairly consistently, and maybe do it three times and pick out the one that's closest to your "baseline."
It'd probably also help to have a separate live room and control room and a helper. If I were doing it in my studio, you'd be in the live room because you're a great player, I'd be in the control room because I'm not, and I'd be asking you to scoot your chair in/out/left/right until it seemed like the best spot. |

To my ears, it felt like the mics were not really in the best position for that guitar in that room. I felt they all lacked something I would want in a good acoustic guitar recording.
Having to choose 1, I'd go with the Coles because it seemed the closest to the right setup.
