In raction with the opinion I possde a microphone of this model for over 20 years and I mount on several instruments including a Yamaha 12 string, the sound of this microphone is remarkable trs is similar to that of a sensor with more heat and you can plug the guitar directly into a PA without prampli, the volume is sufficient.
I guess the author of the advice has fallen on bad m'apprte N. I also mount it on a dobro Johnson instead of the original.
