A year later, and I just produced an acoustic guitar picking/male vocal track. This time I hired a trusted pro engineer and we tried 4 mics on the Collings OM1A. We tried the TLM49, a Neumann Km 84, an At 4050 and the Octava. I liked the TLM49 best, but my engineer thought the high end was nice but "artificial". We opted for the KM84 and the track turned out great.
