Rode K2 & AKG C451B for acoustic guitar/vocals

[kani]

I'm mic shopping and considering a Rode K2 and AKG C451B. I'll be recording acoustic guitar and vocals through a Presonus Firepod. My thoughts are these might work well together for recording acoustic guitar... the K2 good for vocals. Pretty good for the money?

My budget is $1000-1200. Any feedback or other ideas? If so, why? I know that there are a lot of "what mic should I get for xyz" here, but I'd really appreciate some help from you experts. Thanks.

Those should work great for your purposes. There are many opinions and they are all reliable. There are many good mics out there to do this with. The only thing I would suggest is getting two sdc's to record your acoustic. Whether that would be a pair of Pelusos, Oktavas, SPs, Shures, Marshalls, AKGs, Josephsons, or Rodes is a matter of taste and budget.
Two sdc's will come i very handy for creating a stereo image (different mic techniques available by search), use as overheads for drums, and many other applications

Just to reiterate what the big guy said, for un-accompanied acoustic guitar and vocals, having a stereo pair on the guitar really really makes a BIG difference.

Another possible direction might be a pair of Josephson c42mp's.
