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 play mostly solo jazz chord melody.

Condenser mic -> RME Babyface -> iMac running Garageband

:-)

Bob,
If you can hear the humidifier while sitting in front of the microphone, then any quality mic is going to hear those things as well.

Turn it off while you are recording.
