Right...it's not about recording crap and then trying to *fix* it later.
Everyone agrees that a good sound at the source is the most important thing.
That said...EQ is a tool that has many uses. Not to mention, there are different types of EQ.
So to get back to the OP...is you already admit that there was a brittleness to the sound of the guitar...and that the mic only compounded that...but then you blame EQ for not fixing it, and you go on to say it's important to try and get the sound without needing to fix it.
You kinda went full circle, admitting that your initial source and space had issues...so then you're just preaching to yourself, and for some reason, blaming the EQ as a useless tool.
