I agree with Scotty about neither being brilliant for accoustic work. I would rather get a good quality Senheiser mic for accoustics. For placing in front of an amp the sm58 and 57 works very well... I prefer the 58 cause of its ruggedness like Scotty eluded to...
interesting stuff about the sm 58... It was originally designed for the beetles by a mr. Ernie Seeler after they requested a mic that was nearly indestructible, which had good response and would stand the test of time... Look where we are now so many years later and it is still a brilliant mic. Looks like the beetles did not leave us with just some good music... Cant remember where I read that...
