Over the past 4 years running sound for a small concert series, I've 
been using the sm57s less and less and using the electovoice n/d 408. 
I've found it to be very good on acoustic instruments, and waaaaay 
better on my hammered dulcimer. The sm 57 tended to accentuate 
certain harmonics on the dulcimer that made eq-ing it almost 
impossible. There's an article in Fingerpick about amplifying 
acoustic guitars and they prefer the electrovoice and a fair number 
of engineers I know like them real well. Check out 
http://www.fingerpick.com/pickups.htm the microphone reviews are near 
the bottom of the page

my 2 cents worth
