I just ordered an Ear Trumpet Edwina condenser mike for vocals, to be used with a Fishman SA220 stick amp (I have been using a Shure SM58 like everybody else). Ear Trumpet says the vocal sweet spot for that mike is six inches away (assuming the guitar has its own mike or pickup, which should mean (I hope) that I can keep the gain low enough that feedback will not be a problem. The guitar will be coming through an Edwina-trained Tonedexter, and so far I have had no feedback problems with that. I may have to tweak that SA220 in terms of position but I hope the setup will perform. I also have one of those little Bernenger monitors which I have on a stand behind the mike and over the mixer, but it's level is pretty low because it is so close.
And I also think we are way past the point in thinking of guitars as having lost their virginity when they have a pickup installed. With all of the sophisticated pre-amps available now (especially the Tonedexter) I don't think there is any reason not to install one. You can even use the little 1/8th inch "vintage" endpin connectors if you don't want to alter the endpin hole. If you have a pre-war guitar, I can promise you that it has gone through a lot more in its life than a little git of superglue, IMHO.

Did anyone try to mic a guitar through the new Bose S1?
Also... Is it worth to spend more on a mic if your going to use it on recordings also? I want to try mic'ing before trying to install any pickup. Something like sm57/81 through something like a headway edb-2 preamp/di with phantom power and notch filter. No need to expend loads of money installing several pickups in different guitars. Just buy one mic (or 2) I play solo instrumentals seated anyway. The tonedexter does improve the fidelity, but the trade off seems to be a muffled sound. Most of the guitarrists I like get great sound mic'ing their guitars. I would rather spend less on a more plug'n'play pickup like trance amulet, baggs anthem/m80, than pickup + tonedexter. I think.
