Hmm... My classical guitar teacher and a couple of audio engineers I
had pleasure working with thought that placing mics near the neck was
providing a bit of brightness to the sound and balanced well the
body's tone. In those days I spent entire days practicing to minimize
the fret/string noise. Today I think that such noises add to the
charm of the music but i guess this is context and style dependent
(but I am also fond of music made exclusively of such "unwanted"
noises so I may not be the right reference in this context).

something concerning this. Perhaps better focus on the sound source.
Spend some time to learn about mic placement and direction, and experiment
with what you have. Since the string noise comes from up on the neck,
try keeping the mic away from that area.
