Default Basic Question Guitar Miking

Hello Everyone.. I am an electronics technician/engineer but new to sound recording. I have a PC Based Sonar Professional with an M Audio Sound Card. A Martin D35 with custom pickups into a marshall accoustic amp. A small yamaha mixer. I want to record solo demo guitar tracks for my son. Solo Guitar will be the only thing on the final songs.

... I have a sonar tutorial and have been able to record and can work my way through this.
I have the following questions.

If I mike coming out of the guitar amp what is the best mike $100 range.. Shure 57, 58?

This one is really basic and stupid so please forgive me... ( IF I record one track with one mike can I mix that single track as stereo using sonar or do I need two mikes?

Should I configure mikes through the mixer then maudio sound card or directly to the sound card?

Thank you

Well actually you could record stereo with just one mic that comes through your recording software. And I own an SM-58 and heard and used an SM-57 so I'm planning on purchasing one this week, would personally recommend an SM-57 awesome mic for amping. And its better if you feed the mic signal to the mixer then the sound card because you have a bit more control over the sound (bass, treble, phantom power)

Hope that was helpful,
Carl Ghazarian
