Quite possibly. EQ matching is well suited in the case of a guitarist who
has
a specific sound they're interested in replicating and to which they have
a
reference track. If you can find a tone that the guitarist or producer
agrees
is better than the reference, all the better.
than the reference,

AS a guitarist, I use different amps, guitars, and effects (when called
for) for any particular sound, and the rest is down to using favorable
microphones and positioning them.

If you didn't get the right tone the first time, try something else and re-
record it.

Or try re-amping. Anything like that will work better. Sometimes
"efficiency" just does not rock !
