Below is the mic placement technique I used to record CTS last night in studio.
Real full, no need to double track this way. I was happy anyway. Phase was not an issue, you'll see. The album (or CD for you kids out there) is coming along great. I'll put up a sample of the guitar sound tomorrow. My thinking was since this amp has one speaker, putting a mic on each side of the speaker should get a little variation of sound if I pan each mic hard left and right. Since the speaker moves in and out I was hopefull it wouldn't move the same on each side with every push. It seemed liked when he picked the strings the speaker moved a little different on each side. This created a very slight chours effect, but more like the parts are doubled, without all the hassell of getting the player to try and play the parts exact 2 times. When he corded the parts the speaker seemed to move the same and no chours effect.
At least that's how my ears heard it last night. Today who knows.....
That's it for now.

PS...dig the photo of my amp on your blog too. You could have talked about all the trials and tribulations of getting it back in the studio, but that might have taken up too much bandwidth.
