M3 : Really nice instrument mic, very sturdy

I have to say, I really like this microphone. For a pretty cheap price it gives really clear, crisp acoustic guitar recordings. The full-metal casing feels very sturdy and safe, and the on/off/low-cut filter switch is great. It can be phantom powered but also powered by a 9V battery within the mic itself which is a fantastic feature I think, giving a bit more flexibility with the type of mixing desks and soundcards you can plug it into. It comes with a windshield too, which is useful. The only negative point is that the mic clip it came with is far too skinny for the mic, so much so that I had to actually unscrew the base of the mic to take it out after I had squeezed it into place.
