Accoustic Guitar Therapy !

Might be worth mentioning this for you accoustic owners out there and the effects of guitars drying out and the need for a little humidity

When I saw this, it frightened the .... well, lets just say it cured my constipation!
Would a lack of humidity ruin my beloved Breedlove AC250/SM-12 (12 string electro-accoustic)??
I rushed round to the local garden centre and bought a humidity gauge (£4.99), and hung it next to the aforementioned guitar. After leaving it for an hour or so the reading settled at around 55%, so panic over.
What price peace of mind? £4.99. Cheap!!!

I got a Tenax Humidity Meter from the local branch of Strikes Garden Centres. Unfortunately they don't sell them in Fiesta Red!!! :twisted:
