I've cut a couple guitar tracks with it. Sounds like a ribbon and does mostly what you'd expect.

I also got to cut a couple tracks with the MXL R77 ribbon. Now that mic definitely sounded like what I expected out of a ribbon. Much better, IMO, than the R44, but I was still pretty pleased with the 44. It's the same price as a 57. Is it better than a 57 on electric? Sometimes. And sometimes it's not as good. Just depends on what you're after.
