i agree. i did that recently and found it sounded damn good. My engineer at the time said she was putting up an sm81 so i said ok, then i walked in the room and a 58 was setup. I said fuck it and listend to it. It sounded pretty good.
More details please! Position, direction, eq, maybe pics or clips. I think the 57 sounds like shit on acoustics everytime I try it. Didn´t even bothered to try the 58.
in the context of making music with said acoustic... ?
uhm, pointed directly at the fretboard between the sound hole and where the neck meets the body...
I won't have a clip for a few days... PM me if you still want them in a couple days... it helps that my bedroom actually sound great for this application and adds a lot of ambiance to the track... oh, and its a $2k Martin... =)

What I meant was, what's the role of the acoustic in the song? is it recording or live? Vocal bleed an issue?

recorded... not live... acoustic being the main guitar. I dual tracked it... sounds great.
here is a short clip of the guitars in wav format... (like 4.2mb)

also should note that the string are like 6 months old... HP at 80... small amount of comp... thats it.

I'm digging it and not all at once, haha... i think the piezo sound is throwing me off...
Also, can I get a link to this artist (myspace or the like)? I'm digging this song...

they have a facebook too, but i can't find it. I played bass on their promo they just made, so I was there for the recording and then i mixed it for them. Pretty good group, it's just 2 guys. if they don't have the songs up i can post 2 more songs i have.

It's a decent tone, works for that guitar anyway.
I've never been a fan of double tracked acoustics, yes it's wide, but the ping-ponging drives me nuts.
I tend to do ORTF 3 feet in front or A-B over the shoulders, head level.
yeah, its just a rough demo for a side project... when I go to actually do the final stuff I'll do a combination of this and over the shoulder... i was just impressed by the outcome of being to lazy to pull out a better mic...
