Guitar recording (with a mic)

[Guest yanG]

Hi all,

 

I just recorded some guitars and I'm rather happy with the sound I got, but since I know nothing about recording instruments through a microphone I thought I'd ask some opinions...

 

Here's the result. The guitars are not filtered or EQed. I used a Gretsch 6119 plugged in a Fender Blues Junior, and recorded it with a SM57 without its sphere cap.

I meant SM58!
