Panning and mixing acoustic guitar?

So I've made two guitar tracks for rhythm just to give it a fuller stereo sound, was wondering how you guys do it? My One track is the copy of the other and then I'm just panning each one a little to the left and a little to the right for stereo effect. How do you guys create the sound of "one" instrument? I've heard of guys making lots and lots of layers for one instrument

If I want a natural stereo sound, I'll record a single pass in stereo (X/Y, Blumlein, ORTF, etc). If I want hyper wideness, I'll record two passes in mono and pan them hard L/R. If I've recorded a single mono guitar track and want it in "fake stereo", I'll pan it opposite of a slapback or reverb. Which of the above methods I choose depends entirely on the context of the arrangement and mix texture I'm aiming for.

I'd keep in mind that ac.guitars take up a lot of space in the mix, and doubling them makes them take even more place. Often I record in stereo and then narrow it a little bit. Depend on the context.

Do y'all ever separate the two 'copies' or takes of guitar by doing different EQ on the two signals? Good idea or bad?

very informative. thnks.

If I do only a single pass I will copy the track to another one, then physically move the 2nd tracks a few ticks/samples L or R then pan that hard L-R. To "fill in" the space I then add some small verb or quick slap-back DDL to them and then pan the effect hard opposite of the original sources...ie if I effect the Right Guitar I will pan the verb-ddl hard Left....
