Beyer makes a "lav" mike which is tiny and has a little lapel clip.  I've 
used it to mike various acoustic guitars with varying degrees of luck.  Try 
clipping the mike at various points around the sound hole.  On some guitars, 
I've gotten a very natural sound.  On others, nothing has worked to get even 
a barely usable sound.  Take YOUR guitar to the store to try it out, and be 
sure to test it at the volumes you expect to have to use - as it will be 
prone to feedback.
