Members Red81 Posted February 22, 2012 Members Share Posted February 22, 2012 Do you guys have humidity concerns/issues with those as you would with an acoustic? I just had an acoustic crack on me from humidity and i would like to avoid future heartbreak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mdog114 Posted February 23, 2012 Members Share Posted February 23, 2012 Your acoustic likely cracked due to a lack of humidity. Full hollows are susceptible to drying out just like acoustics. A case humidifier would be a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Presc Posted February 23, 2012 Members Share Posted February 23, 2012 I leave mine (Heritage H-535) out on a stand in an uncontrolled room. It requires infrequent truss rod adjustment, but then again I have a solid body G&L which NEVER requires any adjustments other than occasional intonation. Whether the Heritage is more sensitive due to the fact that it's a semi or that it just happens to be more sensitive, I don't know. On the flip side, my Taylor acoustic can definitely get way out of whack if I leave it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaleH Posted February 23, 2012 Members Share Posted February 23, 2012 Most semi-hollows are plywood and not effected as much as solid wood tops like spruce and cedar tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had mine on a rack for close to a year now and haven't noticed any issues at all. I was a little worried for a second though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
