Phase-alignment student seeking Obi Wan Kanshowmi

Alright, so...after a few years of trying to learn how to produce my own music, I wanted to move on, finally, to learning how to effectively moderate phase. Did some research, was able to bring a mix together (though not particularly to my liking, with respect to space, panning and widening) with everything in the positive using Voxengo's Correlometer.

Then, I tried mastering it with two EQs set to sides and mid. That's when the Correlometer went up & down.

So, I know there's an association with bass frequencies, but I typically like my acoustic guitars panned left and right with their full body intact. I'm afraid if I high pass them completely on the sides, they'll sound tinny.

Ideas for where to start, and how to finish -- from individual tracks to the final mastering stage?

How about just shelfing them a bit, not filtering completely? I mean the acoustic guitars.
