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
