I've been reading and doing research, but still can't decide on what acoustic guitar mic to get with a budget of $500 - $800.

What is the most precise mic in this range that will make you feel like you are almost in the room with the guitar?

Has anyone heard anything about Schoeps mics? If so, please elaborate on experience.

hi all. Neumann km84...would this be a huge improvement over my mk012,s,on acoustic guitars?
also is it true that the km85 is the same as the 84 but with bass roll off .
peace and love in 2004.

When I listen to the acoustic guitar as I play, the highs stand out the most to me and they sound crisp. Everything sounds like it’s in its proper place. When I record it the mids and lows take over and the highs sound dull. Can this problem be overcome or helped by mic placement? I’ve tried many different arrangements using an SM57 and a Shure Prologue.

Been playin w/my little Martin D-1 trying to get that GREAT guitar sound (to record into a gtr/vox mix).
Been playin with Sure SM81's, 414's, Oktava 012's. Tryin a few different pre/Eq's, and then into Distressors. (also have an AKG SolidTube, Blueberry, and a Lawson L47MP on the way)
