hi, spanish guitar recording

hi there, i play spanish guitar in a uberamateur environment. i have a wamirack esi pro 192 soundcard, Cubase and a sm57, which i know is not the right mic.
so i d like to hear some advice on best mic to use, up to 300 usd, or if in a room like mine (windows, furniture) it d be worth the extra expnese of getting two mics. also the positioning of them ...

question about close mic recording for distorted guitars...

I'm getting ready to record guitars and I have a potential problem. I'm not using a room mic but only 2 (MD421, and SM57) mics on the 4x12 cabinet right on the cones (one offset) and the other pointed at the center cone. My space isn't but so big, about 22x12, and we are currently rehearsing in the space as well.
