In that case you may need to selectively cut low mids instead of high- passing.
I’d suggest you post the track (or a short sample of it) that you are having difficulty with, along with stems of the 2 or 3 elements that make up the track. I’m sure some here would be glad to help out mixing them so they are not muddy, and then they show you how they achieved that.
Just post a full track of said, nylon guitar, exact length so you can drop it right into your project, I will also put a bit of tilt EQ and maybe a sprinkle of fairy dust on it… then you can let us know.
Can’t say fairer than that.
ps. nylon guitar is normally mic’d behind the right/ picking /strumming hand/ bridge for this very reason. If not, you could be dead in the water…
