Hi Kalo, I don’t know if you’ve already told us this, but what kind of case are you using? A gig bag or loosely sealed case isn’t going to work very well with the soap dish humidifier, it’s too drafty. A case like that is going to struggle even if the humidifier is placed in the soundhole. Depending on what you have now, and of course your budget, it might be worth upgrading to a fibreglass style case with seals at the seams. The case doesn’t have to go with the guitar if you sell it, you can keep the case for the next guitar - it’s a good investment. A sealed case and humidifier will provide a more stable climate and you might not have to refill the soundhole (or soap dish) humidifier as often. Also, air conditioning can do a real number on a guitar. If the guitar is being stored or placed near the air outlet, that could cause problems. And....I feel a little bad for the tech because a loose jack can indicate a too dry guitar, he was right about that. Just in case that’s one of the reasons you don’t have a lot of confidence in him. At any rate, all these problems can be solved. Hopefully you can get everything sorted out affordable because if it’s got a pickup system that’s a nice guitar to have around, even if you get something else nicer down the road. Hi RobF, The tech fixed the input jack and told me he could not find anything else wrong with guitar other than it seemed dry to him. I am going to wait and see what happens. I have played the guitar and it is still somewhat buzzing but not as bad as it did when I first brought it to him. It does feel that the buzzing might be coming from bridge and or where the pick ups are located... As for the guitar case it is TKL hard case. I keep the guitar in the case and lay it flat on the floor in my closet when I am not playing. You mite be right about the case not being sealed good enough though... IS there a link where you can send regarding a good fiber case? I want this guitar to last, because well, I like it and I think I can progress. I know many say it is not ideal for flamenco because of the narrow nut, but to be truthful, I do not mind the specs at all on this guitar and it plays nice.... Thanks for your help! Kalo
