Good Condensor Mics to Record Acoustic Guitar around $200

[CharlieTottman]

Hi Guys,

First post here.

I am looking to create a good, recording setup at home on a budget. I use a Mac/logic setup and I am using a M-Audio Fast Track USB interface.

I am in the market for a good condenser mic ideally suited to recording acoustic guitar. I have heard a lot of good things about the Rode NT1a and also the Rode Nt5? Does anyone have any advice or recommendations for other mics - remembering I am on a budget($200 or more like £150 Uk)? Or from what I hear they are almost industry standard in this price range?

Anyone have a similar setup and offer some experience or advice?

Many Thanks,

Charlie

I'm wondering if anyone rates SE Electronics SE3 or SE4... The link above at the store in Edinburgh sells either of them for £129 each...

For acoustic guitars I'm kind of fond of AT4033's.

The SE Electronics SE1A might work for you.
