To put it bluntly. The u67 is the only one that sounds like it belongs on a professional recording as is. |
I agree

Although I generally tend not to like microphones that are too bright - it's the presence and brightness of the U67 that seem most natural and vivid and appealing to me.
The U67 also seem to be the loudest sample, which can be why it's most seductive. On the other hand, loud and bright is generally not a nice cocktail.
Whether the actual guitar used in the recording sounds more like the sound in one of the other samples, is of course impossible to tell, but as a recorded sound the U67 sample is my pick.
For a little softer sound AT4050 sample had its qualities too.
