to remember is that you should always record with two microphones or a stereo microphone. This is difficult to do on the cheap. Sony has a new stereo microphone, Sony ECM-MS957 Stereo Microphone, that goes for about $200 on the street. It has one capsule that is movable to create different pick up patterns. It's an electret condenser and would be ideal for acoustic guitar. When ever you use only one microphone or a monaural pickup then you destroy the difference cues that humans like to hear because they hear with TWO EARS! This is how we place a sound source in an acoustic space. Good luck! Ray
