Hi Mark,
Getting a good acoustic sound requires a good microphone.
that usually means a condenser or 2 of them if you wish to record in stereo.
A k g and Audio Technica make some fairly good condensers for pretty
reasonable money though now that AKG is Chinese, I have not heard any.
Use your ears to find the sweet spot for recording. It's common to put
one around 8 to 10 inches at an angle towards the soundhole and a bit
lowered and oneabout 8 to 10 inches at the 12th fret and again aimed
inward if 2 tracks are used.
Good luck,
Floyd...
Again though, your ears will tell you what's best positioning.

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.
