If it were me, I'd start about 12 - 18 inches away from the guitar, capsule at the same height of the guitar facing straight on pointed at the 12th fret. Depending on the guitar / sound you're looking for, you may want to move the mic slightly more toward the body of the guitar.
I've used this technique quite a bit with small diaphragm condenser mics when recording acoustic guitar that was intended to fit into a larger mix. If its a solo thing you may want to try a large diaphragm condenser or ribbon.
