Mic for acoustic guitar

[Rufio87]

My only mic i have is the Studio Projects B1 it's a large diaphragm mic. i deceided to buy a second mic which is better for recording acoustic guitars and so. i thought i could buy a small diaphragm mic or what do you think?
i don't know much about all the types of mics, for what they were used and so that's why i ask you what you can recommend me.

it should be between under 200dollars!!

First, I would expect the Studio Projects B1 to be execellent for recording acoustic guitar.

Not sure. I haven't used an SCD on acoustic guitar in a LONG time. I usually reach for my AKG 414 for that. I'll have to try my Oktava MK012 the next time I'm recording an acoustic.

If you are looking for a drastic difference, you will probably be dissapointed. The difference between SCDs and LDCs is something you have to work to hear. I wouldn't be able to distinguish between the two even though I can usually pick out an SM58 or something like on a recording.
