It provides a great sound for people for looking for a pingy/bright sounding guitar. I was wondering if anyone else would care to share their techniques and types of mics they use to record acoustic guitar. | ||

I like to supplement with an AT4050 as a room mic about 4 feet away. gives a nice natural element to round out the sound. This is my favorite combo (this week anyway). | ||
