Accoustic? Do you get any problems with moisture?


Yes. The strings rust a lot faster than at home, but it's only a small
problem. I'm sure the salt & humidity don't help the guitar's structure
either. However I don't take expensive guitars cruising. My "main"
cruising guitar (an Alvarez copy of a Gibson J-200 arch-top jumbo) lasted
about 15 years, after which it still was imminently playable and sounded
great. I gave it to a Russian mechanic. It was a minor pain in the neck
because it was so big. I now have a small bodied Canadian folk guitar
which stows much easier and has gone for about 5 years.

The real problem with guitars & cruising is that I keep meeting much
better guitar players than myself, and cannot remember all the music
material I should be learning from them.
