humidity and guitar: why dry guitar ... 
All wise and powerful luthiers and players, heed my need.

When my guitar is "dry" (relatively speaking), it is stiff and hard to play.
When my guitar is properly "wet", he is some much easier to play.
The sound is also very different.

Por que? Can some of these fine luthiers please drop the knowledge bomb on moi?

Word to your mother!

Guitars should come with labels like clothing to show you which things not to expose a guitar to.


Red circles with line through it enclosing the following items:

Irons
The Sun
Water
Hair curlers
Flamenco dancers
*Hair dryers*
Kittens
*hair dryers*
Poofies
Wet Sex Toys
Lint
Spilling Beer
Lee Press on Nails
Air Marshalls
*hair dryers*
Dept of Homeland Security and Airport Security
children under three yielding scissors
wives with vacuum cleaners on wheels
*hair dryers*
Poofies

I knew I'm not the only one using wet sex toys to humidify my guitar.

You really need to store your Poofies in a separate case with a damp sponge.

The guitar smell on the toys doesn't bother you?
