Keep Your Guitar From Drying Out

If you live in area that gets dry during the winter, like Chicago, or is dry all year around be sure to keep your guitars well humidified. This is especially important if you own an acoustic guitar. When they dry out the tops sink or worse, crack making for an expensive repair. If you keep your guitar in a case make sure you have an in case humidifier like a Damp It. If you keep it on a stand in a room make sure the room humidity is 40% to 45%. Pick up a humidity gauge from a hardware store or a cigar store. I use an in room humidifier to keep my guitar room. They are inexpensive and easy to use. So be sure your guitar is well humidified.
