This is a great guitar mic it uses Sennhiser 409 mic capsules if I am not mistaken, It would suck for any type of real recording but infront of a guitar amp this little guy would rock.

No, this uses the AKG "sheet metal" capsules that were used in the D11 and other cheapie OEM mics for SABA, Telefunken, and a couple of other companies that AKG was the OEM manufacturer for. It was a dynamic capsule in a closed metal sheet developed by AKG in the late 50's.  Cheap to mass produce. Here is the D11

Yep your correct I thought it was something else but the other mic I was thinking of is gold not white as this one is and it is not made by AKG it would have been made by sennhieser sorry my mistake. Thats what I get for taking a 20 second look at it.
