I too have been on this quest, and I've concluded that only some type of microphone can faithfully amplify the acoustic tone of an archtop. The trick is, which mic is the least cumbersome? I have the K&K Meridian(which clips to the guitar body), and while it does produce decent tone, it's a bit of a hassle to use. I think I will try one of tailpiece clip-ons, either Audio-Technica(in my budget) or DPA(probably not in my budget). Good luck!
