I've never used a humidifer. Michigan goes from 99 and humid to -12 and frigid. I do not have air conditioning. I keep my guitars sitting out on a stand. The only thing I've ever had to do as take some material off the thinline saddle. After 34 years, when I ran out of saddle material to remove, it was off to the Mothership for a neck re-set.
But perhaps I ramble.
My experience has alway been that Ovations are able to handle a reasonable amount of enviromental adversity with no problems. An intonation problem is pretty tangable, but is it possible your overthinking the other things?
Just askin'.
In all my time here I don't remember a thead that went in the direction this one did. |

This guitar has had a very slight intonation problem in the upper frets since it arrived a week ago. My Elite has never had an intonation problem. I tried to solve it in what I thought was a logical manner. I was mistaken, apparently, as the problem is now gone, solved by doing the exact opposite of what logic told me to do. |

Intonation off?
