As for mic'ing up my current Ibanez, as I mentioned above, I've tried every combination of DI and mic'ing imaginable and I've used some good tube and solid state mics, Focusrite and SSL preamps, etc. The problem is that it's just not a nice sounding guitar and all I've been doing is a whole lotta turd-polishing. So, it's time to start over with a better instrument. Besides, as I mentioned, I'm also very interested in getting something that plays better, has better intonation, etc.
