I disagree with the concept that mere EQ really offers the difference
between a CMC641 and an M160.

So do I, but he can try playing with EQ on the recording that he made
with the Schoeps mic to see if he gets what he's after. He can also try
putting the mic in a different position, recording in a different room,
using different strings, filing his nails differently . . .

If H. said he didn't like his recording, I might suggest a different
mics, but since he writes that he's pleased with it, he has a good sound
to work with. Without knowing what his present recording sounds like and
what he's after, I'd be hesitant to recommend a specific mic,
particularly a Beyer, which can be a bit tricky to work with. Maybe a
Royer, or an AEA. But like Ethan says, EQ is almost certainly available,
and it can always be undone.
