I am trying to decide between these four mics. Any help would be awesome. I'm using an SM57 for electric guitar so I'm going to use one of these four for vocals and acoustic guitar.

Any other reccomendations? Which one of these is best?

Thanks.
 
Personally I wouldn't pick any of those...

I suggest you go to your local shop and try some other mics out...

Try the AT 4040, the CAD M179, the SP C1 as well as some more expensive mics (These wil/shouldl allow you to see what a better mic sounds like). Try them on YOUR voice and YOUR guitar...then pick the one you think sounds the best... THEN go find it used - cheaper now and less expensive when you want to upgrade.

Guitar center lets you try out mics? That's where I'm getting this stuff because it'll be the easiest to bargain with.

I only see three mics here. (2 v63s) What was the fourth one? jkojura is giving you the best advice though. Vocal mics are VERY personal and you should not try to save money on a cheap one if you find something that you like for a bit more money. Try friends' mics and the store mics and see what you like best for your style and vox.
 
I would also suggest you look at the Studio Projects C1 and B1. Each sound different. If you don't need to buy it right now, both of these are being upgraded in the next month or so.

I purchased the Studio Projects TB1. It's the tube type B mic. It's wonderful. Even with my mixer preamps it sounds great.

Much of it depends on your voice. My voice is a strong tenor voice with a lot of dynamics and big range.

If you want to see the new B1's and C1's go to this link and look at the pictures. Alan will answer any questions you have and I must say they at Studio Projects have been wonderful to work with.
