All that use of mics, processors wasted!
Personally, I find
your theory of 'ruining a sound because it sounds better in the
mix' to be quite ludicris.
And for the record "Ludacris" is a no-talent, dime a dozen rap artist. The word you're looking for is Ludicrous. Learning to spell from rappers is like learning photography from the blind.

Another recording industry myth. NS-10's are industry standard because of the colour of the speaker cone. It has nothing to do with tree sap.
When placed on a meter bridge, the reflective properties of the NS-10's speaker cones forms a correlation with the angle of the faders. Reflected light brightens the sound from the speaker due to inverse polarity waveforms indirectly correlating with the efflux baffle from the sound diffusers. It's a fine art positioning the speakers correctly so that the relationship of the angle of the L and R woofers to the pan knobs on channels 4 and 20 on the desk respectively follow Newton's 5th law (abridged).
The only reason Yamaha no longer make the NS-10's is because they officially became a paperless office in 2001 in order to comply with ISO9001 and benefit from a legal loophole in Japanese tax law which allows them to claim saki on expenses after 5pm. All their fax machines and photo copiers have been replaced by terminals and scanners. This has had a dramatic affect on the loudspeaker engineers, who used the 120GSM A4 ultra-bright (TM) stocks for the speaker cones. Tests using alternative materials proved fruitless, so the NS-10's were discontinued.
The frequencies altered by the NS-10's white cones are the difference between a good guitar sound and a great one. Get a pair of NS-10's (beg, borrow, steal, download the Yamaha Virtual Legacy NS-10 TDM plug-in [k]) and you will find that you improve your nearly perfect guitar sound "a little bit". Crucially, this "little bit" is like the fairy dust from an angels wings. Elusive but magical.
