Best mics for miking guitar in a live bluegrass setting
In general, I find that the guitar cannot compete volumewise with the banjo, fiddle and mando and needs a hotter mic that the standard SM-57. I'm in the market for a mic that will cut but still maintain the tone characteristics of my D-28. Any recommendations?

You should investigate small-diaphragm condenser mics. There are many to choose from, depending on how much you want to spend. The Audio-Technica Pro 37 is a good place to start looking. They do require phantom power from the mixing board.

My first Carbon was an Adamas.I currently play a Rainsong Dred.I discovered carbon Guitars 2 years ago in a local Guitar store and purchased one within a month. I played my first RainSong Dred about a year later and bought that one.I watched Scott Nygards reviews on you tube and that kinda got me searching.Anyone else play the fakes?See More

Stephen Switzer replied to Daniel J Thomack's discussion picks"I have settled on the BlueChip CT55. The BlueChip picks play very smooth and fast, with little pick noise. By the way, I use their thumb picks as well- best I've ever used."
