Well I don't know what you should do but what I'd do is move the mic's back a few feet so they're picking up the whole instrument in a balanced way L/R to get a more true stereo rendering. I usually record in ORTF for acoustic and classical gtr and if the mic's are too close it comes out, to my ear, more as just 2 channel close mic'ing rather than a real stereo soundstage. Just my 2c.
