Default A way to amplify an acoustic guitar

It's an interesting solution - and the graphic eq display shows where he has shaped the response to compensate for the mics sitting in the guitar. Using the insulation would under normal circumstances reduce or eliminate directivity but in this case it probably explains the improved sound (if I remember rightly proximity effect is partly a result of the mic's polarity pattern).

Still, is this a better solution than mics designed to do the same job?
