(OT, but I post this as a service to "the king" )

I've tried the SM-57 for recording gtr and vocals.  Not great, but I'm
not prepared to spend money on a mic.  I ended up with an Audio Technica
ATM-31a for about $130.  It is a condenser mic that I use for live
vocals as well as for recording.  Sound is pretty good, far better than
SM-57 or SM-58.  There are other choices but I believe just about any
condenser will sound better on acoustic guitar than a dynamic.

73!

Would that mic you're selling be useful for acoustic guitar and vocals? 
I've been recording with an SM-57 for years, and I get the feeling I
could do better.
