Would it make sense to employ a pop screen when micing a cabinet for guitars? This might be a stupid question, but, being a newbie here, I'll ask it anyway.

Logic dictates to me, that since a speaker cabinet will be pushing air, (depending on how loud, and hard the sound is coming out, it will vary, of course,) a windscreen seems like it might make sense.

Is this thinking folly? Does anybody think that it would make any discernable difference at all? It seems like in theory, it makes sense, but in practice, the air moving would be quite a bit less than someone singing into a mic.

Can you hear wind blowing into the mic when your'e recording guitar? If you don't then I don't see any reason why you'd use a screen.
 
Pop screens are generally used to eliminate the "P" and "B" sounds with an air pack pushed against the mic. Well if your guitar makes "P" sounds you can use it.............just kidding. It wont be needed for that kind of mild air flow.
