90 percent of a good acoustic guitar sound comes from placement. Period.


And placement on an acoustic can be tricky. "Sweet" may come from a stereo image, too.

So Let's get some placement suggestions for stereo ac guitar and make this thread even better!

Dynamic mic through (insert nice preamp/ compressor combo here), 9 inches from soundhole, off axis towards the back of the guitar, pan left with a condensor pointed the other direction, towards the fretboard. pan right

Acoustic can be tricky.. a few degrees on/off axis can make a HUGE difference in such a setup.
