"I've been using the IMK4061 for all dates I play with (classical guitarist) John Williams, and also on an acoustic Selmer guitar with my band Sweet Chorus - a 'hot club' style of jazz and a personal homage to (French jazz violinist) Stephane Grappelli," he says.
"I love the clear, true reproduction - the ease of mounting and the way that it gives me a great sound plus the freedom to move around."
The mounting accessories also allow Etheridge flexibility when it comes to positioning the mic on his instruments. "The placing is crucial so I've done fair bit of experimentation," he says. "For the Ergo guitar I use with John Williams I mount it above the sound hole, and with the acoustic Selmer I use with Sweet Chorus it's better placed below."
