ralexander -> RE: Does very cold wheather (-20°C) destroy my guitar? (Mar. 14 2013 10:38:44)

It's a reasonable thing to be concerned about. Years ago, I was jamming a lot with a friend of mine in the winter. I would travel to his place in my car, and then take the guitar (steel string) out of the case to soon while it was still cold. Eventually, the bindings started to separate at the waist. Not a catastrophic problem, but certainly avoidable. So you want to avoid subjecting the guitar to drastic temperature and humidity changes ie don't be stupid like me and take your guitar from out of a cold car and bring it into a heated house and take it right out and start playing. Give it a chance to acclimate. This isn't always convenient, and the effect can be negated with a better quality case or even a climate case cover like the ones sold by Colorado Case or Small Dog cases.
