The mics that Tekker pointed out look interesting, does anyone else have opinions on these?

The SM57 is essentially the same thing as the SM58 (which is a vocal mic) but without the windscreen and a different looking "cap" over the capsule.
The main thing with the SM57 is it is probably not going to be the best mic for acoustic guitar. It should work fine for vocals, but a condensor mic is definitely going to be your best bet for acoustic. And in general I like condesors better on vocals over dynamics (but that depends on the mic, the voice, and the style obviously). Condensors are usually brighter and more detailed than dynamic mics.
The two condensor mics I mentioned have been had fantastic reviews on every recording forum I have been on. Not just "good mics for the price", but good mics "period".... The Studio Projects B1 especially. Studio projects makes good stuff at a very reasonable price.
