wow, thanks for the advice guys.

Astro - with vocals and acoustic I meant one track of acoustic and another of vocals. I guess I meant when the song will just be voice and acoustic and whether the stereo pair would be more important in such a more minimal song arrangement, not recording them at the same time.

Ben - thanks for reminding me of the phase issue.

I think I will try the 1 mic approach. And to that end I'll add that my Martin is rather boomy and at times can be a little too bassy. I have currently been recording it with my sm58 with the metal head thingy off. It sounds just ok to me and seems to lack articulation and sparkle. I have messed with it's placement quite a bit but the sound ain't getting me.
