My First Acoustic Track Ever!

So I thought I was going to be able to impress you with my very first acoustic track today, and everything was going just fine... until I recorded it. :D I keep getting horrible phasing. Two mics are being used. 2 SM57's to be exact. One at body and one at upper neck. I get great tone from the body one, fat but not muddy. The neck one seems to not blend well.

Recording upright bass, piano and acoustic guitar

I've been asked by a friend to record him for a college audition. He plays the upright bass, but also needs me to record piano and acoustic guitar.

My question is what microphone would be best for these instruments?

I have a Shure SM57...would that be sufficient? If yes, for which instrument or all of the instruments? If not, what mic would be best?
