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?

I don't have any experience of the CAD mikes, Jenn. I do like
and recommend the Shure SM81 1/2" cardioid, though a pair
will cost more than the CD package.
