Members knockwood Posted January 4, 2007 Members Share Posted January 4, 2007 Dude, if you're living in a dorm and/or with roommates, please keep that guitar in its case when you're not playing it. A little inconvenient, yes. But SO much more convenient than the otherwise inevitable drunk dip{censored} falling over it or picking it up and slamming the headstock into something, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually keep my acoustic in the case whenever I'm not playing it during the Michigan winters. I leave it on a stand in the summer. Most people have no idea how fragile guitars can be. Many people have trouble respecting other's personal property. My family and I are going to Kentucky to visit my mom for a few days. My inlaws are house / dog sitting for us. I plan to pull my Strat off the wall and put it in the case while I'm gone. I trust my inlaws, but accidents happen often in life. I also have no idea who they might have in our house while were gone (wild kids, idiots, etc). A dorm room is the same way. Your room mate may invite a jackass over while your gone.....

That is what I do, altho they don't spend much time on the stands. Here is what Jean Larrivee says about humidity http://www.larrivee.com/flash/features/education/humidity/humidity.html For what it is worth, up here in the great wet northwest there is currently snow on the ground, it has rained/snowed the past few days, and the RH in my music room was 35%. Gits are all in their cases with a wet sponge next to their heads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My uneducated guess is that the air circulation on a stand in an open room might lessen the effects of the high humidity as opposed to a closed case/mold factory?
