AKG D40. You need at least two ) I discovered the D40 on youtube looking for a mic I'd like more than the 57 on guitar cabs, when I finally compared it to my 57 in my studio I loved the results. Personally I can't stand the good old 57 on guitar amps, particularly distorted tones, when I compared it to the D40 the difference was huge, I can finally hear my amp, and not the mic, with the 57 you get the mic's sonic signature which I don't like, the mids sound very honky and there's too much high end fizz. The D40 has the same price but sounds a lot better, better as in more clarity, more accurate sound, no annoying fizz, sounds like your amp. Another great mic is the Heil PR20, around the same price, but my fav is still the D40. A Beyer M-201 is an incredible sounding mic, favored by Steve Albini who happens to hate 57's I know there are a ton of records made with 57s but it's not for me, at least on heavy guitars I really dislike how it sounds, a modified 57 with a Tabfunkenwerk transformer is a different story though, it sounds like you took a wet blanket off the 57's sound, night and day difference. I do like 57's on drums though and use them very often but on guitars ... not anymore.
