I want to point out that of course I can use a correlation meter and move the mics to a point where it can capture a negative phase correlation and not sound good at all but you really have to work hard to mess it up!

Dad3353 I agree! In addition I found that I started caring less about phase issues once I had begun using expensive microphones. Because everything I recorded just suddenly started to sound good so much so that I don't measure mic distance from guitar anymore nor do I use my ears it just sounds good wherever I put the mics! I do wonder just how many people are out there blaming phase issues for bad recordings when there is so much that influences the capturing of audio?

Dad3353 I guess it might matter to somebody learning how to record audio and hopefully this discussion maybe helpful to said person. So I wide stereo mic all the time with nice results and I am a professional guitarist and I guess that I threw this out there because I believe that there's so many misleading videos out there on youtube that say you got to get wide stereo micing in phase. But It is simply not true and not possible and it never will be with an acoustic guitar because of the instrument having an irregular shape and therefore irregular sound projection to microphone A and B. I can neither get a wide stereo pair to be completely out of phase for the same reason. I just this would help anybody aspiring to record who leans heavily on informational videos.

Wide stereo micing acoustic guitar can never be fully in phase
