holy shnikeys how to get acoustic guitar sounding right...

Okay i have been trying to get a nice full acoustic sound and was wondering what most pro studios use to mic acoustics. I was just eating dinner and heard that green day song "time of your life" or whatever its titled. I think the acoustic on that track sounds great. Any idea what they would have used? Right now the 3 mics I have to use are:

Problemes with mixing guitars

My band just recorded some songs in the studio, and we have some difficulties with mixing the guitars. The songs where we use acoustic, and clean guitars sounds really good, but the songs with overdrive/ crunch guitars sounds very muddy.

guitar center's mic advice?

Hi, I am in the proccess of picking a good general mic for mainly vocals and some hand drums/djembe recording. I called guitar center and they were very quick to recommend the gt55 mic. I went to research the mic on the internet and found the guitar center name was in many of the same searches as "gt55". Then I find the mic is exclusively sold thru guitar center.
