Thanks for the mic info. The Rode NT1-A came with a little pamphlet with a few suggestions for mic placement. For acoustic guitar it said that a lot of folks like to have a small condensor mic up close (near the 12th fret) and a large condensor mic farther away to capture other aspects of the sound. Then the two signals are mixed to get the desired result.
This now makes sense in light of the explanations of small and large condensor mics above.
It sounds like when my $1 M3 small condensor mic (special promotional deal with the purchase of the NT1-A) arrives it might become more of a workhorse for acoustic guitar recording than the NT1-A that I actually chose and bought!
Thanks.
