Acoustic Guitar Microphone

Polar Pattern:
A cardioid polar pattern is useful at isolating the sound and controlling feedback.

Frequency Response:
To capture the full range of guitar tones and playing dynamics, a flat frequency response is best, or a slightly boosted high end.

Cartridge Type:
Condenser mics give acoustic guitars a smoother, more natural sound.

Tips:
Mic placement can influence the sound you get as much as any mic characteristic can, so experiment with positioning. Placing the mic nearer to the neck delivers a thinner, high-frequency sound while placing it nearer the bridge creates a more mellow, woody, low-frequency sound.
