Somewhere in this thread it has been said ... as I remember it ... by
somebody that you can negate the influence of the room by going closer to
the guitar. Sorry ... no way, the guitars own sound is influenced by the
room as well as by sounds around it. I got a fine demonstration recording at
a chamber music concert, cello + concert grand. Before the intermission the
concert grand was almost closed, resulting in one cello sound and after the
intermission it was open, resulting in a quite different cello sound.
Kind regards

Maybe in a concert hall situation, yes, but in the studio, not so much.
There, the distance between the mic and instrument make a significant
difference. The greater the distance and the wonkier the room, the wonkier
the recording.
If you stay tight with a good mic, you can dismiss a lot of room interaction.
