It all depends on how much money you want to put into it. Luckily for you, recording just acoustic and vocals is one of the easier things to record and takes less gear than recording a drum set for instance.
I recommend these things in order to have the right gear to be able to get pro quality recordings. Don't forget, once you have the gear you also need to learn how to use it, to get where you want to be sound-wise.
- Two small diaphragm condensor microphones. you can use these to stereo mic the acoustic guitar
- One microphone that sounds good on your voice. A large diaphragm condensor is often used. You can get some pretty good sounding ones for a decent price.
- A good quality sound interface into your computer. Something like the Apogee Duet will give you top quality conversion. You will only be able to record two channels at a time though.
www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Duet/ RME has a new two channel device that is nice too.
- Finally, you could use two channels of mic preamp. There are some pretty good preamps you can get that are a few hundred.
Anyway, I guess the real question is what your budget looks like and how serious you are about recording.
