Ribbon for classical guitar

I tried all these and also found the optimal setting for me. But what
I am referring to is a certain quality of the guitar, a slight over-
brightness and harshness (typical of a new spruce top classical that
still did not fully open up, which usually takes several years), and I
thought a ribbon could smoothen it a bit. (It's a great guitar
though.)
I'd be hesitant to recommend a specific mic,
particularly a Beyer, which can be a bit tricky to work with.
Why is a Beyer particularly tricky to work with?
(I thought Beyer because they are quite easy to get in Germany where I
live.)
Thanks!
