More acoustic questions

[polarity]

I've been working on mic placement and everything from the last thread and gotten happier with the results. I was hoping you guys would watch a video and see if you can tell me what techniques this guy uses

Katy Perry - The One That Got Away - Music Video - (Cover Jake Coco) - YouTube

Before you watch I know that he works in a real recording studio, I know he has the best equipment it perfect rooms but I'm more of talking about how he got the guitar sound. It sounds like he did the double mic because the guitar sounds really full, but instead of panning one left and one right he has his "lead" guitar panned more to one side and the rythem on another. So did he record with 2 mics, then just pan it mostly left. then record 2 leads panned mostly right?

Thanks as always guys

1) There are at least two guitars in there - Along with a piano, bass, etc.

2) You drop $5k on a customized Taylor 900 and if it doesn't sound absolutely spectacular in front of a $99 SM57, you're not using a $5k custom Taylor 900.

With the quality of the audio on the video, I'm having a hard time trying to deconstruct the recording process - But it doesn't sound like anything remarkable other than a really, really nice guitar, recorded at least twice, by a consistent player. Could be just the pickup too -- I've dealt with high-end Taylors more than a few times and they sound pretty fantastic just going direct.

Ahh that could be it. The recordings in the sticky "acoustic" thread where he did the stereo recording, and then the double tracking sounded as good as this to me. With that method though you are panning the 2 mics left/right and doing it again on the double tracking. Since this had a "lead" guitar that was panned to the right I was wondering how you could try to produce the same result. I guess maybe record mono, double track, then pan left, and again on lead record mono, double track, pan right?

Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know (Acoustic Jake Coco and Madilyn Bailey Cover) on iTunes - YouTube

that is another with no lead. I definately think the audio/video are not recorded at the same time, and like I said I know they have the gear. My question is less of "can I make this studio quality perfect sound" and more of what techniques are used in panning, etc that could be recreated at home to give the same effect, even if at a lower quality.
