Members Terry Allan Hall Posted November 24, 2012 Members Share Posted November 24, 2012 I wouldn't...can't say it definitely would harm your acoustrics, but can't say it definitely wouldn't, either. The air above the vents will be dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FretFiend. Posted November 24, 2012 Members Share Posted November 24, 2012 Agreed. That is definitely not an okay place to hang guitars. Heat will rise off of those baseboard heaters. I suspect that the air anywhere in that room will be pretty dry when those heaters are going. Wherever you hang them, monitor your humidity closely.

Members FretFiend. Posted November 24, 2012 Members Share Posted November 24, 2012 If you want to make sure that your guitars don't snap in half, just make sure that the temperature and humidity where they live is good. Hanging them over heaters is definitely not good. The humidity in the room may be fine. A cheap digital wall hygrometer would tell you whether you need to worry or not.

Members panhandler Posted November 25, 2012 Members Share Posted November 25, 2012 Keep the temps nominal and the RH around 45-55% and hang the guitars on the walls that dont have the heaters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members FretFiend. Posted November 26, 2012 Members Share Posted November 26, 2012 It that is true, then the upper atmosphere over Washington should be quite hot by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members takanick Posted November 26, 2012 Members Share Posted November 26, 2012 Fact: Hot air travels upwards. As the elevation rises, the air thins and less air can bump into it self causing less friction and therefore, less heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
