You can try an AT4050 (Audio Technica) near the sound hole, offset to the right to hinder bass boom. Place a Shure SM94 on the neck about half way up. This is a good way of getting all required frequencies from the instrument. Other mics will do, just use a large diaphragm on the body, and "pencil" mic on the neck. Condensors are the best, bur hey - experiment!
I just signed up for this website after reading this post, only now have I noticed how old this post is.
Anyway, I signed up just so I can respond to the quote about Arnie's passing. Because, you see, even as I write this, 13 years later Arnie is alive and well. In fact I am meeting him for drinks and to ring in the new year.
