A couple of notes. When I'm after an acoustic with slightly less "weight" than the innertube/87's give me I go to Neumann KM56's (tube, pencil) and they are glorious. Even though I own sluttier pres the Focusrite 215 just seems to work really well on acoustic guitars. Last note, I prefer an Aphex compellor for most acoustics (when I do want a compressor) but find that an Alan Smart works real well in a rock context.
So, to sum it up: Yeah, what that guy said!
