Before buying the 603's and modifying, consider one (or 2) of these:

$219 is a phenomenal price.
Review: http://www.seelectronics.com/revpdfs/sE3/MTM_sE1a_2a_3.pdf
I got my 603s when they were offereing them free with MXL2001 mics for $100...but I was able to sell the MXL2001 mics...ultimatlely the pair costed me about $50...and Ive been offered $150 for them.
Maybe it's the wrong mic positioning. I don't have that problem recording most Martin guitars using MXL 603's.I wonder what kinds of results folks on here are getting with these mics?
I've been trying to get a good sound with these mics on my Martin OM, and the sound is always heavy on the low end and weak on the high end, and not very clear overall, yet these mics have numerous good reviews on other sites. I have them in xy, at varying distance from the 10th fret, and the results are always the same poor quality.

Regarding that price discrepancy, as another member mentioned, I also found that the one has a USB connection and the other XLR, I think thats the difference, I got mine from B&H with XLR connectors

603's are the first mic I reach for when tracking acoustic guitar.
As Harvey said, mic placement but also consider the acoustic environment.
There are a lot more choices in SDCs nowdays, so I wouldn't know what to choose..
