Who would have thought...!!!

The wife and I where out shopping today and stopped at Radio Shack. (electronics mini
mart)
I purchased a lapel mic, one of those little microphones you clip on to your shirt or
jacket for public speaking... Because I got an idea...!!!

I usually use a big Sure mic to record my acoustic and nylon guitars... Problem is
ambient noise, and proper positioning of the darn thing...

So, I thought... I wonder what this would sound like clipped to the sound hole of a
guitar...!!!
It was only $24 US, so I bought it...

I couldn't believe the sound quality I got from this thing...!!!

For a sample of what it sounds like, listen to this: nocat...? Fingerpickin'...? No way...!!!

I recorded this using my nylon plugged directly in to the soundcard... no effects...!!!

If you are looking for an alternative to amp-up your acoustic, you might want to try
this...!!!
