Hey Gang,

What is the best way to go about keeping my 1778T properly humidified. BTW, it's not in the case much:-)

Thanks,
Jon

Try the search function above, using words such as "humidifier" "humidify" "humidity" or "hygrometer". There's been a number of discussions on this subject & you should be able to find a lot of relevant information.

Invest in a good room humidifier and a hygrometer.
It's not that big of an investment.

Amen Cliff,

After watching my 1117 Legend crack from bridge to base last winter, I moved all of my guitars into one room (had to throw my youngest outside with the dogs...hey priorities!)bought a small room humidifier and humidity gauge, and sleep much easier at night!

I keep all my gutiars out on stands year round, so's I can readily play them. I tried the rubber soundhole humidifiers, but find it much easier to keep one room humidifier full, rather than dunking a bunch of little ones everyday. I think I spent like $35.00 for a good room humidifier.

I finally invested in a room humidifier for my basement / rehearsal area but it is a large area and lately it's been so cold and dry here in NJ, the humidifier can only manage to keep the room at around 35%. I normally keep all of my guitars in their cases and use a "Kyser" soundhole humidifier in each case when needed.

I also invested in an air conditioner and de-humidifier for the summer months. My wife wanted to know why I don't invest as much in her comfort. I quickly changed the subject as NO good can come from answering that one. ;)

You can always move to the Pacific Northwest, West of Seattle. No problem with moist air here!
