Mark, I am not a guitarist. However, that is a very very sweet ax!
Dave, I haven’t used professional grade microphones in many many years since my
days in the school studio back in the late 80s. Are used the AKG 414 Mics for
overheads on drums as well as to mic an acoustic guitar. Nowadays my so-called
makeshift recording studio is in the corner of my living room and I use just a
sure beta 58 microphone.

Hadn’t thought about the AKG 414 but it is a great mic for just about
everything.
Did forget to mention that when putting a mic at the sound hole, you may want
to experiment just a bit because when exactly on the hole, it can become very
boomy so just off of it is usually best for me. Just an inch can make a
difference in the tone. Dave

I like the AKG451 2 of those will get you a great stereo sound.
If you want to go for a different kind of sound you could get 1 large
diaphragm condenser like the AKG414 or the Classic U87.
Warm Audio makes some incredible mics for very little money. I like their
WA47, WA87, WA14 and WA84.

Hello Folks,if I may, What is the best method way of recording an acoustic
guitar?
Also, a microphone recommendation for this task?
Up til now I primarily benn recording keys.
I am considering purchasing a Gibson standar hummingbird guitar.
I have always wanted one and I figure why not.
If you can give me some advice, I would appreciate it.
Thanks, Mark.
