recording a martin rosewood dreadnaught: EQ and compression

[Vatican]

EQ and compression: how would you apply EQ (and compression) to the recorded sound of a martin rosewood dreadnaught with scalloped bracing?

 

(and why wouldn't recording engineers prefer the balanced sound of a jumbo?)

I would record the guitar thru a condenser mic aimed at the neck, body joint, run the mic thru a compressor set at a real soft setting, just to keep sound even, keep eq flat and eq later if needed
