Best Mic for electric Guitar

[Sudsy]

Other than the SM 57 what is the best mic for recording distorted electric guitar? Actually let me rephrase that. What is the best for under $300?? I wish money were no object but hey I live in the real world. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Maybe two SM57......

You could also try a Sennheiser MD 421. It costs about 300$

Also, try a Sennheiser 409/509/609...

really?? SM 57 is that good?? Anyone tried the Beta SM57. I heard that mic is supposed to kick some serious butt!
One other question would you choose differently if you had an unlimited budget?

i think everyone would choose different when "the skies the limit"

SM57...havnt heard of the beta57. Used a beta 52 on a kik, but to tell ya the truth, never tried out the 57. I usually rent mics(cheap) for diff apps. Will ask bout beta 57.

You know I never thought about renting mics?? That may be the solution I am looking for here! Ok but still I am unsure of which mic to use. For now it looks like I may end up buying the sennhieser. But I dunno [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
