Amazing microphone!
I've got two of these in my home and I'm looking to buy another three or so for a home studio setup! A VERY good quality microphone which can be used on a variety of applications, such as guitar amps, snare drums, toms, percussion and even a bass drum to gain some more attack out of the beater (alongside a microphone with a lower frequency response). These microphones are built very well, and reproduce a very clean sound for recording! They're definitely worth the money! I'd highly recommend buying this one!

A Classic Microphone
Used most often for mic'ing up amplifiers and musical instuments - this is a classic that's been out there with the top bands for what seems like forever - 50 years or so I'd guess. I have seen these as vocal mics - but they are mainly used as a feed from close in front of a guitar or instrument amplifier.
