Your budget is low to get a real good condenser mic for picking up a guitar, but i'd roll with something like this Audio Technica Pro 37!. AT makes a good product for the low-end budget equipment!. I was happy with the results I was getting with this mic on the acoustic guitars!. But also keep in mind, your condneser mic is only as good as your preamp!. So look at getting a pre-amp some day in the future!.

There is NO SUCH THING as a "CONDENSE" microphone!.!.!. there are CONDENSOR microphones, however!.!.!. and a TUBE TYPE works the best because it's got a warm sound and doesn't overload like the cheap CONDENSOR mics!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
