I just bought a MXL V63M condenser mic ($49) with an ACT Tube MP Studio pre-amp ($29) and I must say it beats the pants off of my SM58 for recording acoustic guitar/vocals. I have a funny feeling, though, that the pre-amp might work great with the SM58. Decidedly low end stuff, but more than adequate for my recording needs.
