SM57 LC : Industry standard. A horkhorse behind the legend. This is the one to record a guitar!

This microphone is almost a myth and it's not in vain. With a huge capacity to keep the focus in the field you place it, it captures the essence of your tone through the speakers according to the way you mic them. Tested with a Celestion Vintage 30 and a Celestion Century Vintage and even this speakers are very close to each other in the way they sound, this mic can easily deal with the frequencies allowing you to realize what speaker your listening through the records. The precision degree is so accurate than you can even A/B the recording tracks and still be able to know what speaker you're listening to. A fantastic device to have, and talking of the microphone universe, its price is a bargain. If you're serious to record guitar/bass, you know it's a tool you cannot live without. Tested with and M-Audio Fast Track Ultra, Reaper x64 and Pro Tools 10. In a word? excellent!
