I like using my Sennheiser MKE44P. It’s a very flat stereo mic but does the
job nicely for me. Also recommend the Aston Spirit mics. I suppose you could
use a couple of those in X y configuration.

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.
