This sound was almost as good as using my AKG C414 in the studio. 6-adhesive sticks really well and doesn't mark up or damage the wood 7-solid/loud output 8-can be used on multiple guitars 9-using two C411s at the same time (placed on different parts of the guitar)would probably sound even better CONS: 1-doesn't sound better than a high-end condensor mic 2-cost of the mic is low but the AKG cable you need to use the mic cost more than mic. 3-attack is good for fingerstyle/classical/flamenco players but not ideal for really fast...

I've even tried it on a nylon string guitar(great sound), on a sitar(really good) & even on the body of a fretless electric guitar(!even the... Read more |
