Using a guitar humidifier

FINAL NOTEs ON HumIDITY CONTROL:
Do not leave a tube-style humidifier lying flat inside the guitar, or it
will make too much direct contact with the wood. The illustrations
show proper positioning.
To monitor the amount of humidity your guitar is receiving, we
recommend the purchase of a digital hygrometer, a device that gauges
and provides a read-out of humidity levels. In our experience, analog or
needle-style models fall out of calibration easily and can't be trusted.
You can find a good digital hygrometer for $20-$30 at music stores,
Radio shack, department stores, Amazon.com, or other online retailers.
It can be kept in the room where you store your guitars, or, better yet,
in a central location inside the guitar case, preferably Velcro'd to the
outside of the accessories compartment (facing the heel of the guitar).
