Here's some clips to show how it can record guitars.

Take note that these clips were actually the first time I ever even recorded with a mic and a guitar cab.

It really is a great sounding mic for vocals, guitars, drums, you name it. The -20db is nice for cranking the amp to high volumes, not pick up extra noise, or peak your audio interface. And the bass cut is nice for getting a nice guitar sound without it sounding flubby or having to post-process the sound to get it sounding right. Very easy mic to work with.
