LOL, Bushice, just to make it okay with a synth board, we'll add this little plug:

By the way, the acoustic guitar patch on the XP-60 is quite good.

There.

Yeah, good point about not being able to move or you blow your sound, but I mean surely they used to use full=sized mics back in the good ol' days. I mean, take a look at the recordings of Andres Segovia or Charlie Byrd. Also, keep in mind that Rory is blind and probably doesn't do a whole lot of stompin' and dancin' around the stage (if you do, Rory, more power to ya, man!). I'm not familiar with how well guitar-mounted mics have come in terms of sound frequency response, so maybe there just wouldn't be any difference if he used a full-sized mic or a guitar-mounted one. If that's the case, might as well, just get a guitar mounted one.

By the way, Rory, ask around the acoustic guitar forum on guitar.com--I'm sure they'll have some suggestions of some other brands (like Seagulls and such) and they'll have a much better idea of what sounds good and what has good craftsmanship than I would.
