Due to the sitka top, the mids can be a little clanky to my ears. The Eden was basically emphasizing everything wrong about the guitar, leaving it with a tubby, clanky, plasticky sound.

Interesting information. I have a Lauten Atlantis. which ..which is the Fet version of your Eden. Sounds very nice on voice. The Extra large capsule (38 mm) makes the voice very smooth sounding.
So very interesting how one mic can work so well in one area and not work in another. How far away was the mic placed from the guitar? And I assume it was in Cardiod?
I have heard so many people speak so highly of the Eden. Our very own AGF member, Sasquatchian, has two of them I believe.
What makes this your partner's favorite mic?
