This is what I did.

First off, this was the first time I've ever recorded my guitars so...that being said.

I used a figure of 8 mic about a foot off the hole, pointed at the hole. I put the other mic in the room, about 3-5 feet from, me pointed at me. Use the Rode (figure of 8) as the mono track and use a stereo plug in on the other mic and, on the mix, get the mono track sounding good. Then, turn the stereo track up to fill it out. Sounded nice when I played it back...Ultimately, trying different setups will give you different sounds. It's up to you what sounds the best.
