I just listened on my big monitors, IMO there is nothing wrong with that guitar at 1k when not messed with, in fact it sounds great! I'd definitely suggest turning the sound hole long ways in your room and getting closer to the back wall with your back, play and then slide your seat forward and back until you hear a sweet spot where the room makes it pop in the most pleasing way, that is your new spot. IME, you are asking for issues if you fire the sound hole to a close front wall while sitting to a close back wall like you mentioned you are doing, standing waves, nodes and antinodes will occur much easier in short distance than longer distances within the frequencies/spl range of an acoustic guitar. Distances considered to be too close are dictated by the guitars spl and projection in relation to the room space it excites. Also the rejection of a cardoid mic serves MUCH better with that setup as it rejects quick 1st reflections, you may also consider backing the mic off to around 18" give or take, distance almost always sounds better IMO, it gives the sound a chance to cohese and develop instead of capturing just one part of the guitar sound close up... maybe an annoying 1k resonance?
IMO, a great guitar, good playing and mic arrangement should leave you not needing a drop of eq other than maybe some filtering on the bottom, ymmv.
hope this helps

Most stringed instruments have some self resonances 1100 khz is equal to the note C to C# .
Place the guitar in a diffrent spot and close mike it. Do you get the same resonance..... than its the guitar.... most often you can find those resonances an ocatve lower too.
