Guitar Sound Recording

[flouk1982]

hello to everyone here.
i'm from greece and i own a home recording studio.i finished recording drum and some bass tracks and i want to record my electric guitar.i own a fender strat american with floyd rose and use : marshall 2x12 cabinet (1922) - rocktron power amp 2x50w - engl 530 preamp (also have a traynor 40w tube and combine them with boss line selector{sometimes not always}).
while i recorded some riffs i noticed that the guitar sound is far away from the sound i here while i play.i recorded with a shure sm57.
I also have a rode nt1a ,ntk (i haven't used them yet).
Recorded in cubase 5 with presonus firepod and an SPL 2 ch tube preamp.
any suggestions about that issue???

thank you very much.

... the guitar sound is far away from the sound I hear while I play.

Could you explain further what you mean by that?
Where were the microphones placed to do the recording?
What acoustic treatment do you have in your home studio?
