For the last 10-15 years or so many people have been recording guitars like this:
You aren't using the Royer as a room mic, it is a ribbon so tends to fill out the fairly spiky sounding SM57.
Using a room mic is quite different- the way I do it is to crush the room mics quite heavily (usually for drums, with a Distressor) to get a fuller and harder drum sound.

The Audix D5 is a reasonable budget dynamic mic for vocals. Thomann have their own in-house brand called T.Bone which are rather decent quality for the price. I have an SC400 and it's not too bad.
Behringer B2 is a GREAT budget friendly mic too.
I use it on snare - ALLLLL THEEEEE TIMMMMMEEEEEEEEE
The way it distorts with higher SPL's is very pleasing to me, and mixes well with a 57 and an SE3A, which I also typically use.
I own two of them, originally bought them for overheads but now I only ever use it on a snare. Haven't made it work well on a tom yet, but there is hope.

I went with the NT1a as a kit, to get me started.
If you have that kit plus an SM57 you won't want for much more.

Think I'll probably do the same... Thomann?
