Make Solo's Sound Smoother

Hello everybody,

I'm recording a track and am recording a guitar solo.

The guitar sounds really sharp and even though no clipping occurs, it still, at times, gets a little uncomfortable to listen to. I've done a little reduction on the high ends in my EQ but the problem seems to persist. I kind of want to get my guitar sounding like the following track:

Bullet For My Valentine - The Last Fight - YouTube

Now, as you see the guitars sound really smooth and I know as this is studio track hours of mastering must've gone into it but is there a way I can get closer to what they sound like here? Thanks
 
Amp?
Speaker?
Mic?
Pre?

Post an example clip of the gtr.

Better tracked and no need to cut the top to fix it. I sometimes end up boosting the top a tad.
 
As Sonixx said "better tracked". Why press record if you don't like the sound you're recording? It sounds as if you know what sound you're looking for - spend the time to dial in your guitar tone and you won't have to "fix it in the mix". Good luck!
