Haven't heard any of the C&T mics, but I'd reach for a shinybox 46 (with any of the transformers), Beyer M160 or M260, AEA R84, or Sennheiser e609 before the Royer when it comes to elec guitar duties. Maybe it's just me, but the Royer definitely does not do it for me on GTR as compared to any of the above mics.
