For dynamic mics, a 57 and 58 are pretty hard to beat.

AKG P220s are good, highly-directional cardioid LD condenser mics which deliver great performance and don’t cost much.

Here’s a clip where Eric Skye and Mark Goldenberg are each a foot off a P220 (in, admittedly, a nice quiet environment) - it sounds pretty good (and the playing is amazing):
