Look at a LDC (Large Diameter Condensor) mic, it will work fine for acoustic guitar, and can also be used for vocals. Lots of choices in the $100-$170 range. Those $110 speakers are no good for low end, you really can't ell how your recording sounds though those. Your bad sound (no matter where the mic to guitar was) - did you have monitoring on so the sound was coming out through the speakers while recording?
$390 for the 3 main items pre-tax. And like you said, plus cable(s) and a stand.

Anyway, great point about having the speakers on when recording. That can certainly introduce a whole new mess into a recording.
