Mic for Acoustic Guitar

I have a Breedlove C25/CR and want to record a few songs. Just wondering what a good mic would be to do this.

I've experimented with my Shure 57 and MXL 990 with various mic placements, but can't seem to get a "hot" enough track without distorting. I'm also having problems with keeping a steady volume level with the dynamics of my playing.

Microphone question

Hi
I was wondering if I have 2 mics connected to my audio interface which is connected to my computer, can I also connect a mic directly into the computer's microphone jack and record all 3 mics onto the DAW (Cubase/Audacity) simultaneously? I ask this question because I haven't gotten my mics yet or else I would have tried it out.
Thanks
