Wonderful Mic

I play a Charis Acoustic. This is such a beautiful sounding guitar but the on board pickup simply never did it justice. The amplified sound is nowhere near the natural sound and I was always very unhappy amplifying it.
Now, it's no big secret that the best sound for any acoustic is with a mic but there is always the proximity issue. You need to stay perfectly still which is pretty much impossible.
DPA solved that issue and then some.
I read a lot about the 4099G and listened to tons of sound clips so I figured I'd try it. WELL IT IS SIMPLY AMAZING! After about 20 minutes finding the best spot to point the mic I found real ear candy. My guitar now sounds exactly as it does unamplified, through my AER amp and the sound system at my church. I had two top notch musicians A/B my guitar using it and natural. NO DIFFERENCE.
If you're looking for real quality and pure sound this is a great mic and well worth the price.

SUPER MIC

This small monster sounds great and you can put it any way you like
I record my guitar in studio with this mic.... I was shocked for the detailed sound quality also the noise flour is very low
I hope if they make thicker cable for more safety feel
IF there is 10 stars I will give it to DPA 4099 Guitar

Amazing Way to Capture the Guitar

I have used this mic a few times and just purchased one from Sweetwater so I would be able to do a gig this weekend live outside. It was great. I play Nylon/ Flamenco guitar and wanted to be able to move around a bit. Our sound guy loves this mic to it captures the guitar very well. We left the eq flat and just added a bit of reverb and the mic sounded great. I find that we need to push the pre amp a bit more than we would if I was using the Shure KSM 141 mic.

My Sweetwater Sales Engineer wasn't pushy like most "typical" sales people. His suggestions have been wonderful. I'm going to use you guys for life!
