Craigslist can be your friend for this sort of thing. I got an A-T 4051a for $100. A little scuffed up, but it's pretty nice, especially for acoustic instruments. Also, I've used a Shure Beta57a with good results both live (amp, vocals) and even recording a piano. It's a very versatile mic, and might be better for vocals, though not quite the same "studio" quality on acoustic, more than adequate for most folks.
