What's great about it: great sound
What's not so great: I can easily turn the head entirely around
This is a great mic with great sound Its very directional so it picks up better pointing at the subject. Shure makes good products so I assume I wont have any problems with this product. I notice that I can spin the head entirely around (not sure why they made it that way - it feels like I could twist it off at any time)
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Great sound quality, very durable and substantial build quality
What's not so great: Not much unless you want to get technical
Its a legend for all the right reasons. A (relatively) cheap mic that has great quality recording pretty much anything. I currently use it as an amp mic, and it works great at picking up an accurate representation of what i'm hearing out of the amp.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Most used mic for guitar amps and instuments

What's great about it: Best in price range, great for micing guitar amps
What's not so great: Nothing in this price range
This microphone has been the industry standard for micing amps, drums, and instruments with dynamic volume levels for decades.
I use this mic for my customized 12" combo tube amp and it accurately makes this amp sound great through a PA or sound system. I know a friend who uses this for his unique vocal work for his band Pilotdrift.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Recording or putting guitar amps though a system
What's not so great: Nothing
I play and record music for different groups and individuals, i own a few other much more expensive Condenser mics and this mic still out performs them when recording guitar and drums. My main mic is the shure sm57. Amazing!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Rock solid for recording amped instruments
What's not so great: none for this price range
Shure has built it's reputation on the 57's and 58's. This is an industry standard mic for recording or mic'ing an amplified instrument. Great for putting in front of a guitar amp. Solidly built for the road. (Choose the 58 for vocals though, not the 57).
I would recommend this to a friend!
