ADK S-51 and ADK S7...any opinion?

[::XeS::]

I need a condenser mic to pair with the sm57 and I wanna check these mics because I found a great deal for these 2 mics (same price). I found wonderfull opinions on the net but I didn't find any particular sample/impressions with hi gain guitars.
I only know that s-51 was used by several danish producers (the most famous) and in those albums guitars sounded great!
This is the S-51:

There is also another model, the S7. Reading the description it seems a guitar oriented mic but I've never listen anything.
"•For All Ultra-High-SPL Sources- Clean @ 150 dB! Ideal for Loud Rock, Metal, Heavy-Industrial, yet nuanced and pristine on acoustic sources."

So....has anyone of you ever listened some recording or used them in first person?

well, looks like your average China OEM microphone that is a copy of an old design by AKG/Telefunken/Neumann/whatever.

Yeah they are...but it seems they are pretty impressive

I have one, its in storage right now but im pretty sure it was an A-51 MK1 it has a black body and silver mesh head, looks like what they later named as the Hamburg.
It sounded good the last time i used it for a guitar cab, i have no real memory of the tone it just worked well for what i needed at the time.
Build quality was good for the price (i seem to remember the low cut and pad switches being a little cheap feeling but apart from that all good.

Thank you Digital,
I asked to ADK which is the better mic for guitars between these 2 and they said:

"The S-7 - Absolutely !!

If your cabs are tubes and extra "hissy" or your
tone has a lot of 'fret-noise' - then we'd say go
with an S-7B. In Between those two colors is
the Hamburg Mk8, which I use on both my vocals
and my Cabs. But those three mics are Superb !!

S-7 - Neutral
H-8 Slightly Mellow
S-7B Very Mellow (almost Ribbon-Like)."
