I am going to record a classically trained finger style guitarist who claims to play quietly.  I am double micing (12th fret and lower bout).  I have:
Shure KSM44's
Rode NT5's
 
Which are the better mics for this project?
 
 
Thanks,

T,
Put one mic 12" away off center pointing at the hole and the other about 3' away pointing at the center of the hole.
This will be a good starting point. There's a lot of variables like the player and the guitar. This will give a nice sound if you pan these a little L-R. The Shure mic would be best. Also two of the same mics would be great.

i have a ksm44,
it works real well.
 
i've also had good results with a ADK Hamburg,
much cheaper than the ksm.
 
 
also, use a AT4033, another excellent mic.
