Someone asked in a different forum. So for those who are interested, I used a big black CAD
condensor microphone I bought about 5 years ago to mic the D60 body. And I used a cheap MXL condensor
guitar mic for the neck,(the thin one.) (GC sells an MXL pair together for under $100.
But the thin one is the only one worth having. You can throw the big one away.)

I also have a RODE NT-1. But I didn't use it on this song.
I like the CAD better. The RODE is a good mic, very accurate.
But this CAD seems to impart something extra.

I ran it through a Yamaha 16/6FX mixer. A superb & inexpensive mixer.
The CAD I ran through the immortal JoeMeek VC3 Pre-amp/Compressor.
The MXR, I ran straight into the mixer.

I don't know what the CAD model number is. (EDIT: It's a C-400S).
They don't make them anymore. If you can find one -- buy it.

It cost me around $200 when I bought it several years ago.
It's definitely the favorite condensor mic that I own. It's superb on guitars
and on vocals.

They don't make 'em anymore.
