Interesting stuff.

When I saw this, it frightened the .... well, lets just say it cured my constipation!
Would a lack of humidity ruin my beloved Breedlove AC250/SM-12 (12 string electro-accoustic)??
I rushed round to the local garden centre and bought a humidity gauge (£4.99), and hung it next to the aforementioned guitar. After leaving it for an hour or so the reading settled at around 55%, so panic over.
What price peace of mind? £4.99. Cheap!!!

That's good the panic is over Paul... phew... which garden centre did you use and what make of humidity tester did you get ?

I got a Tenax Humidity Meter from the local branch of Strikes Garden Centres. Unfortunately they don't sell them in Fiesta Red!!!
