Speaking about the guitar...how is that going?
Maybe this winter I'll dust mine off and go another round. *It's been
sitting there for 3 or 4 years.. *only opened up to re-fill the
humidifier on a monthly basis.

Tip: *(just in case you don't know)

If you rarely play the guitar it's a good idea to
detune it to remove the string tension. * We have people come
to the shop regularly who dug out their old acoustic or hollowbody
after sitting it it's case for years only to find out it now needs an
expensive neck re-set. * *Wood moves, especially when there is
about 220 lbs of string tension trying to pull the headstock forward.


Thanks for the tip Richard. I had figured that was the case and
loosened the strings up to fit the humidifier in between them.
