Re: Guitar: 2 mics, £1000, what would you choose?

I've liked the royer when its been used on everything. (There are other countless 'ribbons with top end' though so maybe there is alternatives)?
Everything else perhaps depends on the amp. A flat large dynamic like RE20, and LDC or a SDC?
you have sm57 covered- maybe there are some better or worse contenders (i used an electrovoice CO4 and preferred it...which is good for 25% price- but then maybe some use SM7 and go the other direction!))
But its like what amp and effect are yiu heading for, really might determine what to use. E.g. AC30s need a bit more consideration of the top end imo when miccing.
..but something like the Royer probably would cover everything if using two mics tbh.
