Just listened to your latest clip. Wow, there's so much room in that sound. I also think you're way too far away from the mic. I mean, it's just my opinion, but I'd get closer to the mic, maybe 12", and not dangle it from the ceiling, but have it on a stand at height with your hands. I use my walk-in closet simply because it deadens the sound. Unless I'm in a room created for recording live sound, I just want it nice and dry so I can add reverb to it in the mix. The room you're recording in is not sounding so good for recording guitar. Get out of that room before you buy a new guitar.
Think about this. You said you're in a big room, hanging the mic from the ceiling, 28" away from you - and that's exactly what it sounds like. I am in a medium sized closet, mic up close, but it doesn't sound like that (to me anyway). You're getting a particular sound, but I don't know if that's the sound you want. I think dry is best. Get the room noise out. Smaller room, mic as close as can get without getting too spikey or boomy, and capture a dry, clean, even sound.
