Just a few tidbits I found useful in my tracking room with regards to guitars:
I have several acoustic guitars in my tracking room. Whenever there is sound from another source (guitar, amp, voice), the acoustic guitars will resonate and will ultimately be picked up by the mic(s). Paper towels (or other dampening devices) between the strings and fretboard will work wonders.
Secondly, dampening the strings above the nut on any guitar that you are tracking will also remove unpleasant noises. I don't understand why this isn't a defacto feature of any production guitar...?
