Ok, this is interesting, but I still think it's likely strings/setup, maybe some technique, e.g., compensation learned playing on a very different instrument (playing .008s on electric) can really not work on something else, but that's a stretch.
I captured the 2 above, normalized and the only place something really sticks out (which is not quite what I hear) really suggests maybe bad setup/frets, too light strings? Who knows. The difference from the EQ'd one just shows a big difference in the area that is harmonics of open strings. Without hearing the single strings played hard, it's difficult to know what's going on exactly, but I'd be suspicious of just about anything without having the guitar in hand.
p.s. (edit) - the E is the E octave, the G is an octave above the 12th fret G, and the A is 2 octaves above the 12th fret A. (If I can do the arithmetic.)
p.p.s. (edit2) - stretching my google skills here, but this Am chord, with the open 4th of E and A is likely creating an implied 7th....
