Okay, then let me add ....
Mic placement on a close-mic'd guitar amp has a HUGE EFFECT. You can move a mic an inch and have a totally different sound (off axis coloration, cone vs. center, proximity effect). It's sort of like looking across the room with binoculars -- an inch puts you on a different continent.
It would be VERY DIFFICULT to try to punch into an existing guitar track on a different day with the same equipment if everything has been torn down and set up again. Near impossible without an assistant moving the mic on the amp. Matching sounds between songs is more possible, but not easy.
Bear in mind also that little unthinkable things like string gauge, newness & manufacturer and pick type make a profound impact on the sound. That's right, THE PICK MATTERS (thanks, Slipperman).
Strings have a big impact too.
BTW, I hate it when the guitar sound is the same through a whole album. Yuck. How ****ing mechanized and boring.
