I want something that will work well on a boom placed near the guitar pointed towards the 12-14th fret that won't pick up the humidifier 15' across the room but will capture the dynamics and beautiful tones of my instruments.

I have read posts where the two low end microphones of choice are the Octava MK012 (modified by Jolly in differing capsule configurations) or and ADK A6. Some folks like a number of Rodes mics as well. I also see many posts where folks recommend higher-end microphones like an AKG C451, Neumann KM184, Audio-Technica 4051 etc. which are above my budget.

I don't see any consistent advication for anything at the price point that I asked about nor do I see anything about preference for use in an acoustically live room with PCs with fans, humidifiers with fans etc. Many people have home studios set up that are acoutically much better than my space. Many times people are also recommending mics for use in a multi-mic configuration and I am going to be using a single mic.
