Ricardo -> RE: Preferred live on guitar microphones? (Dec. 16 2025 18:42:42)

A goose neck provides a fixed position, but I rather prefer using the position relative to a mic on a stand. Engineers like this because they can compress your signal, another pet peeve of mine. I like dynamics. My favorite mic is the Shure beta 87A for vocals, and honestly the guitar is like a voice too. The flat cardioid avoids bleed so if you close mic it into the sound hole and role off the bass, you get a loud signal without the palmas or yelling and stomping near by, nor feedback from monitors. I could imagine someone using that exact cardioid on a goose neck and that might be good (definitely better than the typical ones they have now), but again, I like moving from the mic for dynamics.
