I had a friend traveling to the US and now he is in Europe, unfortunately he missed and opportunity to go score some gear for me in the US, he would be hitting London soon. He can afford bout a 1000 USD for me. A Great River pre I was looking for in the US, or the AGK 414XLS (in India its all a lot more expensive than the American market, the very little we get).

PreSonus Firebox
USBpre (unsure of brand)
Berhinger UCA202'
there was some Edirol stuff too

Any suggestions, something that has phantom power, a decent pre, and a decent headphone amp?

I own a fender blues deville, fender strat, sm57's and a PreSonus firestudio project..

Even if i had good mic techniques, would guitar rig give me a better sound?

My wife accompanies (on piano) a local violin teacher and her students and in return gets free violin lessons for our 2 daughters. Every year a small handful of her older high school students make recordings of themselves for college applications, scholarship applications, etc. We decided we'd put together a home recording studio and offer to make recordings for the students.
