Recording guitar

So, I'm looking for tips on improving the quality of my future recordings.
Basically what we do is: guitar into preamp, into amp (line 6 amp), into computer.
Im starting to record with Audacity at 24 bit audio (my initial test recordings sound about the same), I use a Creative Soundblaster sound card and quality is nice and clear. Overall the sound is fantastic, but the guitar sounds a bit like its missing something, perhaps its just that Im using a 6 string guitar for metal and need to go up to a 7, but any adivce on what type of equipment to consider would be appreciated.

I suppose I should mention we typically record songs in drop tuning, around c or b, even as low as drop a.
