Great instrument mic. for guitar, banjo, dobro or mandolin. good feedback rejection and good at isolating the instrument. Only drawback it mic. clip does not hold the mic well and I had to improvise to keep the mic. stable on the mic. stand. A replacement clip solves this issue.

This mic is awesome, its perfect for guitar. Since its supercardioid, it can handle super loud volumes. Great for live performance and great for the studio- it makes your guitar sit nicely in the mix. You can even scream into it and it sounds pretty cool!

I bought one used for $85. It's great. Placement and EQ aren't as critical as with my SM57 and the sound is smoother. Almost can't get a bad sound. Highly recommended.
