For acoustic Instruments:
I normally use 2 Shoeps mc5 Matched into an API preamp, plus the special Seymour Duncan MagMic of my Weissenborn guitar.
For the electric Lap Steel:
I have a great choice of amplifiers, Lap Steel and effects, I will record with an Audix i5 Dynamic Microphone into a TubeArt preamplifier, I can deliver also dry tracks on request before the order to be re-amplified in case.
