Default Re: Recording acoustic guitar

A pair of AKG C-414B-ULS in omni mode, about 18-24" from the guitar, one pointing at the 12th fret at about a 30 degree inward angle, and slightly upangle, the other pointing at the bridge, same 30 degree inward angle, vertically centered midway between the botom fo the bridge and the bottom of the body. Roll off both mics at 150hz, pan hard l/r.
Run it through some decent pres (my preference is a pair of HHB Radius 10 pres into a pair of Distressors at 2:1 medium fast attack, medium release on the low, fast on the hi mic, about 2-3db of max reduction.).
If you have good player, guitar and room, you can't miss.
