Sound Treating A Room

[borntoplease]

okay, so whats the best way to sound treat a room for acoustic guitar. should i being completely dead? i just have no idea what to listen for in a "good sounding" room. and do i need to spend the money on aurelex or will any kind of foam work in making a vocal booth. i just want to get the best sound i can get on my martin.
if it helps, the sounds i have been getting are kind of boomy. im recording with earthworks SR71s and i also have an ADK Vienna.
any input would be cool.
