GLS ES57 vs CAD CM217. My ears can't hear much of a difference (but then again I have tinitus!) Frequency analysis shows the GLS a little peaky at 4K-5K, the CAD is a little smoother overall and doesn't drop off above 10K the way the GLS does. The GLS also picks up lower frequencies a little louder, but not huge difference.
Excuse my sloppy playing, I didn't want to do more then check overall sound (wasn't concerned with pick or house sounds). Left is one mic, right is the other (you guess). The fronts of both mics were set up 2" apart, pointing the same way. First 1:50 is with mics pointing at 12th fret from about 5". Next segment is pointed at the lower bout from 6". 3rd segment 12" away, pointing straight at the sound hole.
