What kind of guitar are you recording? Acoustic, Electric or, classical? If acoustic then, when using the C3, I would put the bass cut switch on. Also, if you are recording acoustic then, you may want to use a C1000.

I know there have been mic discussions here before and I can't remember what the suggestions were. What would people recommend as a great mic for mic'ing guitar? Is there one out there for less than $500? I've tried the Studio Projects C3 and, though I get a wonderful quality of sound, I'm looking for that little extra punch. I also have a Shure Ksm27. Is that a better choice? Is there one I don't have which would be even better? Looking for ideas. Thanks again! Laurie
