For the Guitar the Mk012 small diaphram condenser by Oktava will do a nice job. They are a little difficult to locate at present. Around $100.00 if you can find one. Musicians friend was the last large chain to handle them and they droped. Pretty much anything else under 100 is really not that great of quality. A shure SM57 dynamic will outperform most condensors under a hundred. Entry level for a quality large diaphram is about double that. The Rode NT1 is a great mic for $200.00.
