I've been very impressed with the RM700 that I use at college on a recording of Super Duper Love, had it on a Fender valve twin a little while ago, alongside a 57 on the cone and a K2 a foot back. Have a listen to the clips i've attached.

The guitar was a PRS custom 22, going through a Line 6 Pod xt Live, and a fairly modern Fender valve twin combo.

The first one is the RM700 on its own, the second is a mix of the 3 mics together (the first and second tracks are dry), and the third is the full mix of the solo, with the guitar tracks compressed and EQ'd a little.

I found the ribbon to be the track that gave the guitar sound its interest and bite, with the K2 having the most body to it. I'm certainly thinking of getting one for myself.
