What causes this distracting M 20 resonance?

FF to around 4:15 of Tony Pelacastro'a review of Oxnard's Guild M 20.
Notice the C (3rd fret, 5th string) at 4:24 it's much louder.
Later in the video at 4:40 you'll notice the range of this resonance also includes an adjacent note, the B (2nd fret, 5th string).
I makes me want to insert a parametric equalizer to smooth out the response.
Is this peak resonance from the guitar itself?
Could it be the room, or recording equipment?
Some combination of the 3?
Something else?
I suspect it's the guitar.
It's not my room since:
1. The resonance sounds the same in my good headphones.
2. I have not noticed this problem on the any other guitar reviews from Tony.
I'm inquiring because I feel some GAS for an M 20.
If this resonance is inherent in the design, that would cause a leak in my GAS tank.
What think you?
