How alleviate tinny tone on acoustic guitar? Better forum for question?

I'm recording a 12-string acoustic guitar into a Shure KSM44 mic and into a Universal Audio SOLO/610 preamp into an Apogee Duet into my MacBook Pro running Logic Pro 8. The recording is very thin/tinny.

Any tips besides just trying to EQ it? I chose the "Songwriter" template and used the "Basic Acoustic Guitar" template track which has EQ and compression on it. I placed the mic about 12" away from the guitar pointing at the neck above the hole. As is, very tinny. After EQing it, it sounds better, but nowhere near the tone I was hoping for.

Any tips greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

P.S. Is there a better forum for production technique questions? I'm assuming this forum is mostly for technical questions specific to Logic and not production techniques in general.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.2)
