Well, I got an AEA R84 ribbon mic on Friday and did a bunch of guitar recording yesterday. I gotta say, this mic is the best sounding, most natural and warm mic I've ever heard on a guitar cab. I tried a Royer a couple years ago, but didn't have the right pre for it so I couldn't do the mic justice, but now I have some nice pre's and the R84 was a lot cheaper than the royer so I opted for it after reading some user reviews of it.
I've used a 57, 421, and a Lawson LMp 57 on guit cabs and I think the R84 beats em all at just sounding like the amp sounds without adding something that shouldn't really be there. The lawson sounds good too, but less natural.
I'd recommend the R84 to anyone recording guitars. I love it!!!
