Again, thanks for all the repies.. this looks like a great community!
57's is still probably the most widely used mic for recording electric guitar. doesn't mean its the best and you're best to experiment to see what suits you. But 90% of the records you own will have a 57 on the guitar and the snare.

i personally hate them on guitar unless i'm using them with something else as well.
