You will be able to record anything you point the microphone at

Experiment with microphone placement to find the best sound

This is a relatively "budget" microphone so results may vary

A large diaphragm condenser mic would be a good investment if you want to get a bit more serious about recording vocals, ukulele and guitar

Search the forum as there are lots of discussions about good quality large diaphragm condenser mics

This should get you started: https://www.thomann.de/gb/large_diaphragm_mics.html

You will likely notice less clarity (a more muffled or 'dark' sound) when recording guitars/ukulele compared to what you actually hear.

Experiment with it. Record your guitar and if you cant find the sounds you are after, consider a condenser mic.

Great for vocals and guitar (and harmonica, dobro, banjo etc). excellent build quality - highly recomended.
