Such things as metal cases on electronics, ferrite beads and capacitors,
can do a bunch to clear up unwanted rfi emi problems.
The guiitar may be the weak link here, but I don't think so.

like.
The price seems within my reach at about $1000 CAN.
Has anyone tracked with this mic and can offer comment?
Are there any other options I should be looking at in this price range?
Maybe the Neumann TLM193?  But it is more money. Or the CAD E300?

The drivers you used in those deep cabinets, did they have a bumped backplate
on the woofer's magnet?  I noticed when i built deep cabinets that were
vented, the woofers bottomed out like hell.  I had to replace the woofers
with bumped backplate woofers like ummm, cerwin vega (YUCK!).  I hate the
sound of the vega's but they are great for exagerrating bass.
