The way I see it there are 2 possible approaches with guitars. The first is what Ermz has described in detail and the second is recording a raw tone that works after a low/hi pass and 2-3 tight bands of less than 4db cuts
It's just an acoustics thing. The more volume you have to play with in your room, the better everything will sound. The smaller your room, the harder pressed you are to do everything.
this is true. but it is possible to get the "decay-time" / modes (don`t know how this is called in english) of a small room to a acceptable level.

Sneap havbe been able to achieve (from the top of my head - Lasse, lolzgreg, Ola, burny, jaymz and a few others)
Don't over estimate the size of the room when tracking guitars. Seriously, the microphone is a few centimeters from the source, the room has an extremely low impact on the sound you'll capture. Plus, 10x10 m is, in my opinion and I'm sorry to say, ridiculous. Nobody has such a huge room. Andy's tracking room is not that big, Nordstrom used to mic cabs in a very small wooden room, and I don't think their tones suffered from that whatsoever...
