Dave, you're an aesthete. Would you be so kind as to read my "Report from
Pinewood Studios" ?
I'm looking for audiophile input on how a recording of a steel string
guitar
should sound.
Well, direct me to it.
It seems self-evident to say this, but I'll say it anyway, a pedal
steel should have that "twang". It's got a similar sound to a
Telecaster. You should be able to hear all of the overtones and it
should be almost "too bright".

The post describes three mike setups I can mix in post. All the virtues
can't be had at once. For example, the close mike pair does what you
describe, but it's almost synthetic, because the instrument is not in a real
space. Read it over, and let me know what you think the compromise should
be.

Im not sure that I could give you any guidance based on reading the
above. The best I can do is give you some prime examples of pedal
steel sounds
Dave,
Maybe you missed it and I hate to break it to you given all the
interesting
work you put into this post....but he really didn't care about pedal
steel.
He's talking about basic acoustic guitars with steel strings.
