Humidifier!
Spring time again after the long cold winter.
Spring time comes with neck related problems.
Neck related problems on the guitars that is.
Both my Gibson 335 and my
70`s Fender Strat got a slightly bend neck this year.
It didn`t bother me so much because i took them to Guitar Man
and Aaron took care of the problems right away.
They both play and sound better than before so i am happy.
The real problem though occured on my Guild acoustic.
The plastic binding around the body got loose and a plastic pad on the back
between the neck and the body too !
This change didn`t happen overnight but gradually over the last two winters.
So i took my guitar over to Jimmy`s and he said that
the wood is dried out and in desperate need of humidity,
which meant that i have to leave it there so he will place it in
a humidified room for two to three days,
and then gradually glue the binding together with the body
so i could have it back in two to three weeks.
A Big and costly job that could be avoided if i had regularly used a humidifier.
Now after a long search i found out the best ones are called:
Oasis Humidifiers.
