thanks Gollo.
I'll try your suggestions. The mic over the shoulder idea sounds intriguing since this should be in essence what the player hears. Funny that there's such a difference between a classical and a steel string in this regard. I might simplify the situation and just use one mic.
The other thing I'm experimenting on is the placement of a small lapel type mic in the body of the guitar. But I haven't made much progress on that yet. i found a good thread by googling rec.music.makers.guitar.acoustic on placing a mic inside a guitar. They suggest just in from the soundhole and placed up near the 14th fret area. I'll let you know how that works.
