Hi gang,
I bought a Tanglewood guitar from a friend a few years back and I always wanted to upgrade but since I'm a drummer and I hope I can say an audio engineer. I had a lot on my budget plate.

I owned the Taylor 314CE for years and passed it off to my daughter. I need a new Taylor or something comparable to be able to earn some extra income. I don't really want the electronics. I'd much rather have nothing inside the box.

Dear all,

This is my first post. Thank you all so much for an invaluable resource! I have read the rules, searched for a similar post but nothing was quite like I was looking for so here it is!

Folks,

Please can someone help me in the selection of an affordable (200- 300 $)
mic for recording acoustic guitar at home.

I am looking at

AT4041 (SDC)
RODE NT5 (SDC)
Shure SM81 (SDC)

I am also looking at some stereo SDC mics or any other affordable stereo mics. Would stereo makes help in the first place?
