You're asking for feedback problems with an omni, Rick. I'd try a good ribbon mike that can be tilted to pick up more or less of the guitar, used in a cardioid configuration. The old hand-made Cambridge mikes I used for years (no longer made) were perfect for this in the studio, but they were figure-eights, and not for PA use. Perhaps the AKG414 (with phantom power) could do it. They have a variable pick-up pattern, but may be too expensive. What do the guys at Borealis suggest? I'd be curious.

By the way, that second post from a "Sandy" in the ancient "pick up lines" thread, something about about "getting naked," was from some OTHER Sandy, not from me!
