on an electric i wouldn't use a ribbon on condenser. a sennheiser md409 is a good mic for electric guitar and can handle very high spl. for an acoustic you could get away with using a large diapragm condenser like a neuman u87 or u47 but these are very very expensive mics, a rodes nt1a will give you a very nice sound and are great mics for a cheap price, bare in mind that if you use a large diaphragm condenser you will not be able to get much through foldback because you will have not much loop gain. you could use a small diaphragm condeser like an akg ck93 which are nice mics and very very nice on strings like cellos and violins. the 57 you use just needs some eq'ing from the desk end so you need some one with reasonable ears.
