Members FretFiend. Posted October 1, 2011 Members Share Posted October 1, 2011 RH has hovered around 65%-75% in the guitar room all summer. A bit high, but nothing to really worry about. The gits are fine... maybe sound a bit dull. The first cool snap is on us, and the RH immediately dropped to about 45%... practically in a matter of hours. I expect the guitars to wake up in the next few days. A good thing, since I'll likely be spending more time indoors with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fastblueheeler Posted October 1, 2011 Members Share Posted October 1, 2011 27% here as we speak. Been using the sound hole dampits all summer. It's been a very dry year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitarcapo Posted October 1, 2011 Members Share Posted October 1, 2011 I live at the southwest tip of Florida. When I moved here in 1993 I threw away all my "Damp-its" and never looked back.I have a "guitar room" with about 30 guitars on the wall. They rarely have action adjustment issues. But the strings do get rusty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OldGuitarPlayer Posted October 1, 2011 Members Share Posted October 1, 2011 I am north....wayyyy north. It's 7c (45f) here with 70% humidity. Darn cold and damp.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Opa John Posted October 1, 2011 Members Share Posted October 1, 2011 I just took a peek at my Springfield hygrometer on my desk. RH is 47% here in the Columbus area right now. I'm sure it won't be long before I'll be making some sponges wet. I've got two Planet Waves humidifier dealies that fit in the guitar strings, but I like the home-made baggie/sponges better. Easier to tell when they need more water added. We've got an April Air whole-house humidifer on our furnace, but in the Winter time it still can get down to under 30%.....so, I still have to humidify my gits.

Members Samilyn Posted October 1, 2011 Members Share Posted October 1, 2011 Foggy and 69F/56% RH here in the Pac. North Wet. Gits in the house don't sound too bad, and of course, the ones in the climate-controlled studio are okay (studio kept as close to 45% RH as possible at all times). Gawd, I remember living in Lousy-Ana. Poor gits always sounded like they were stuffed full of socks. The rare low-humidity day was a real treat.

Members bigald18 Posted October 3, 2011 Members Share Posted October 3, 2011 Relative hum here in St Pete in my office is always 65%. Guitars all sound pretty bad compared to when i lived up north. Maybe it's an operator problem?? BigAl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Michael Martin Posted October 4, 2011 Members Share Posted October 4, 2011 I am a GA boy but now reside on the prairie. RH here is lower as a rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members happy-man Posted October 4, 2011 Members Share Posted October 4, 2011 I'm on the southeast tip of Florida; been here since 1986. No low humidity problems here. If I travel north for a trip in the winter, I only take a laminate bang-around so as not to worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
