You will read a lot of huffing and puffing about acoustic guitar recording techniques, and, to judge by the postings on internet forums, the use of inappropriate microphone placements is at the root of a lot of disappointment experienced by players and project studio owners. Described in this article is the technique I used for my 2006 CD, Interim Reports, and beyond. (Note: this is primarily intended for solo guitar, or guitar and vox, tracked separately but will suit a number of other applications.)
