i'm 100% with max on this one: that guitar tone is tough to listen to, it sounds like an ovation plugged in to a DI and strummed down at the bridge. it's all bridge and pick sound, no body or tone.

if those were my tracks, and assuming the guitar doesn't actually sound like that in the room, i'd worry less about which pre is superior and i'd focus on getting a better mic into a better position, and having the player work that pick closer to the soundhole. as it stands, it doesn't sound like an acoustic instrument, it sounds like a bad recording of one.
