I have an SM57 with a Shure A2WS locking foam windshield, which I currently use when recording spoken word voiceovers as well as sung vocals. I want to get away from DIing my electro-acoustic and would like to record it using the SM57. My question is whether I should remove the locking windshield before recording acoustic guitar (or if I mic an amp to record electric guitar) or whether the impact is too minimal to have any effect.
Going a little further, I also have a Rode NT1000 condenser and an SE R1 ribbon mic. Which of the three mics is likely to give me the best results for recording acoustic guitar? I mostly use the acoustic quite far back in the mix, i.e. it is rarely the main focus of a song, more of a texture.
Thanks for any advice.
