Every guitar's different, even within the same make and model. I'd listen for a very balanced sound across the spectrum. Sweet highs, clear mid range, tight and not too loud bass. For a recording guitar volume doesn't matter much unless you record live in a bluegrass band.
Well didnt want to bump this thread up but the problem ended up being my room. I put some absorbant material in the corner for 'bass traps' and my matress up against the wall that I'm facing when recording, until I can afford some RealTraps or other acoustic stuff.
The sound is a lot better now, no boomyness, and no ringing sound either.
