Default Mics

When I want to record myself (various guitars), I usually borrow some
very good mics from the college. I record acoustic guitars in a common
way: large diaphragm condenser near the soundhole, and a small
diaphragm at the 12th fret. I'm thinking of making a small investment
in mics for the sake of convenience. I only want to spend around $300.
The recordings are just for myself and friends. I sometimes have a
vocalist joining me. Is this package about as good as I can do (quality
wise) on this tiny budget?

Thanks for any input.


You might also want to look at some nice dynamic mics.

I'd say ignore Shure but for the fact that many ppl consider the SM57 to be ok
on instruments ( although I utterly loathe the Shure SMs for my part ).
