The vocal sounds are nice here, with a great breathy texture and not too much proximity mud or sibilance. I think you've balanced the vocals against each other sensitively too. All good. Whatever telephoniness (?) there was seems to have been dealt with fine for me.
But the guitar lets the side down a bit for me, and mostly on account of its transients, which are pretty brutal. I'd get busy with some dedicated transient processing to try to tame this. If that doesn't work, you could try the same in multiband mode. However, I'm guessing you might have to automate the threshold of a multi-band compressor's HF band to really do the trick. A bit more 700Hz probably wouldn't hurt the guitar sound either, I reckon, if that's possible without upsetting your vocal sounds too much. If it does, then you might need to try complementary boost/cut settings on the vocal and guitar mics with a linear-phase EQ.
