Hmmm I've always found the SR77 to have a bit of a scooped sound, probably would work well in that position.

I'm reaching for my R84 most of the time now, but some other useful mics I've found are:
AT804: Dynamic omni that works well on clean electric guitar work. Not a very true omni in that the high end detail coming off the rear doesn't exist, but lacking much proximity effect which allows you to get in close with it if needed. Does a good job at avoiding that tizzy high end shit that is just impossible to eq in the mix.
E/V ND468: Hypercardioid dynamic which does an excellent job at minimizing the room but most importantly, gives you a cutting sound on electric guitar and provides a 'small' sort of sound and doesn't take up much a lot of space in the mix. This mic is very proximity dependent so low end depends on how close you need to get.
AT4033: About the only place I ever think to occassionally put this mic, it can be stellar on lots of cab work. Oddly enough Alan Parsons lists it as a 'go to' mic even above the high end stuff.
CAD M9: Damn smooth stuff in the mids and not overly bright, nice tube mic for lots of stuff including cab mic'ing.
