    good question. I'd say some sort of Lav mic.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    i could be heinous and put a dog ear P90 in if it cleared the strings.

    The Regals may be cheaper.

    i'll have to talk to my dealer and find out how much he'll give me for my strat first. the biscuit is cheap though. but i really liked it.

    now, do i actually have a use for this sound?

    I want one...

    Back to the original question...

    That Fishman seems great, and would work well for lo-fi settings (coffeeshop, demo recording, etc.) but you'd probably want to use or supplement some small-diaphram condenser, too. Something like an SM81 would be perfect, to capture that wonderful transient response and harmonics... just a note for future reference.

    thanks man. i'm going to have to throw one of my guitars into open tuning and try to see what i can actually do with a slide before i drop into this. but it just might be fun.

    This is like me and the Epiphone J-160... I probably don't need one, and I can't justify spending money on one, but they're so damned cool!

    luckily, the shop doesn't have one right now. only a full-metal fender reso which i don't think i want.

    i love the fact that all i need is a new NUT to flip these things to lefty.

    There are some really good biscuits in the UK. I prefer mine with sausage and gravy.

    I don't know... I've never eaten anyone else's sausage... I don't think I would enjoy that.

    I was just thinking of selling my acoustic and getting a dobro.

    i think it's too much of a niche instrument to foresake the sole acoustic for but depends on how much you actually play acoustic. it's all i'm doing right now.

    well I have that dream of a Martin or a Taylor but it's covered by Strat and 335 and possibly Super Reverb and oh yes. Delay and Univibe.

    Mexican Jazz Bass and a Countryman (or SansAmp).
