I blame the mic position for the tinny trebles of 2 and 3. To my taste,
you're getting too high of a ratio of string to soundboard sound, i.e.,
too much bare string sound. For your taste, you might not be willing to
sacrifice the presence you get from this position for some wood-warmth
by moving your mics to the other side of the soundhole somewhere, but
which will unfortunately be biased toward some other frequencies in a
way you might not like.
