| Depends if it's nylon strings, or fingerstyle or flatpicked steel string. IMO fingerstyle of any kind is much easier to capture, I've used lots of combinations that can work with that.
This setup works great for both: Gordon preamp with two Sony C48s, to Lavry Blue. One mic directly in front of the soundhole about eye level, capsule pointed down at the floor. The other level with and facing the neck at the 7th-9th fret. Both about 6-18" away depending on the the instrument and room. Cardioid pattern, no HPF. I've had good success with Avenson in the same setup, but a little smoother sound, not as real as the Sonys. Gordon makes everything big and clear, Lavry keeps it that way.
