Default Which do you prefer?

Which do you prefer and why?

3 mics, all more or less in the same spot approximately 28" in front of my guitar. The files are 24 bit 48k mono and unprocessed. I will say that with very minimal EQ I was able to make them all sound extremely similar. Similar enough that any of the three would be acceptable.

The room is reasonably neutral, but ultimately not the same room in which I would be doing any serious recording. It is my mix room and so some of the ambient sound you hear is the fan from the computer.

Then I'll tell you which mics they are.

I prefer 3, 2, 1 in that order. 1 sounds fat and bloated in the bass.
The other two are very close to my ears but I keep thinking 3 is better,
maybe it's psychological. I do think 2 and 3 are tinny in the trebles
though.
