Guitar Humidifiers

[Bruce McC]

Following on from the recent post on humidity I would be interested in the
thoughts of members on guitar humidifiers: ie.
sound hole v in guitar case
homemade v bought

Hi Bruce, I bought a few of the Planet Waves ones from StewMac and have used those. They have a small piece of sponge in a plastic housing that slips between the strings and hangs in the space inside the guitar. The sponge is fairly small and dried out quickly I found. I have also used sponges in ziploc bags as well but you need a way of making sure that it does not lay on the back inside the guitar as the moisture is too close and will swell the wood (voice of experience )

No, it seems that everybody uses the Planet Waves humidifier, or (like me) none at all.

I just use a plastic soap box with holes drilled in it and a moist sponge inside. Works fine and costs a few dollars.
