I have a bit of a dilemma

When I master I tend to add a shelf eq yet with said shelf it causes a bit of tomfoolery with my guitars yet if I try to remove it before the master it makes them quite dull

So would it be worth stripping some out of the sides for subtlety or would compressing said frequencys work better?
