How to Weatherproof Your Acoustic Guitar

I can’t stress enough how significantly weather conditions can affect your guitar, especially humidity, both too much and too little. Here are 4 ideas to help you weatherproof* your guitar to achieve the best and most consistent conditions for your guitar’s wood, binding and strings:
1. Use a case, especially when transporting your guitar, and use a humidity system inside
2. Buy a hygrometer for your case and your guitar room (like the one in the photo)
3. Buy a room humidifier/dehumidifier for your guitar room
4. Clean & polish your guitar every 6 months 
And, a couple of ‘don’ts’:
Don’t store your guitar near a heating/AC vent or in damp areas like a basement or garage.
Don’t leave your guitar in your car or trunk.
Climate continuity can help your guitar have a long and healthy playing life!
