Yes, but recording an acoustic guitar (well) isn't the easiest thing, and using the internal pick-up stuff it in a DI box and away you go.

Ok in a live (gig) situation, I would probably opt this way, but in a studio I would automatically look to the mic cupboard (unless their was a specific sound I need the bug sound for).

P.S. fortunately bug's these days are much better than they were 20 years ago.
