AT2020 you can get for $100 at the moment.
Or the AT 2035 for about $150.

Can you stretch to $200? You can currenty get an AT4051a for $195. They are usually $500.

Don't get too fixated on SDC's- an LDC will do the job just fine.
The last lot of acoustic guitars I recorded were done with a U47, albeit a much more expensive LDC.
I think the link is just for a capsule, not the whole mic.

The AT 4051 is the mic I was alluding to in my post above. Really great mics. Wish I had one (or two).

Cheers,
Geoff
