Doug, out of curiosity, when you have the mikes as close as you did for your test recording, how do you minimize string noise (and heck, breathing and clothing-on-guitar noise)?

I just recorded a tune with close miking and because the tune involves a lot of movement up and down the neck and some difficult fingering positions I got more string noise than I like. I dislike coated strings, so that's really not a solution. I use a spaced pair setup as your picture shows, so I do have a mike pointed directly at the fretboard. It's a Peluso P28 and it's quite sensitive. I can kill some of the string noise artifacts with the Audition "heal" tool, and Bill Wolf nailed some more when he mastered my CD, but not all....

Any tips?
