are these good for acousitc guitars and overheads? or would i really be just as happy with like Oktava MC012's or something? Suggestions, please.

i keep reading that it's the #1 choice for acoustic guitar mic-ing for most people here.

but what about for overheads?

[omtayslick]

I have an 81 that I use on acoustic guitar. And really like it. But I think you'll find that in most commercial studios if they use the 81's it's as a high hat mic or for overheads.

This link will tell that story. http://www.shure.com/scripts/artists...il.aspx?ID=113
