Do you not keep your guitars humidified?
Yes i do, always.
But we got our selfs a new house witch is very VERY dry.
And i was a bit careless with the humidifier for a few days
looking at it going -naah i´ll do it later.
Not playing it is not an option. I use it 7 days a week 5 days for work.
I also got some gigs coming up where i wouldn´t play anything but my Eliason.
Yeah man that sucks. Problem is you probably should have taken these years to SLOWLY dehumidify your guitar considering your environment, so that you don't need to keep in under constant wet conditions. Everyone I know in NYC has cracked guitars. The fact you always have the guitar under humidity makes it even worse if a drastic change occurs. Unfortunatly if it gets bigger and goes under the bridge, the guitar is done man. As others said, no strings keep in case with constant humidity to close it up till you can get it fixed.
I would say after you have it repaired begin to very slowly acclimatize your guitar to less and less humidity until it stabalizes. Once it adjusts to your super dry environment (might take a long time), be careful of the opposite where the guitar might have a chance to soak up some wetness (like near your bathroom shower or if you travel to a very humid environment with it). The problem with the humidity issue is not so much if the guitar is always more wet or dry, but when CHANGES occur.
