As this next batch of COLD weather hits the D/FW area and other parts of the country this week, now is a good time to make sure you've got the proper humidification plan in place for your guitars, especially your acoustics.

With the low temperatures that are forecast, your heating system will be working pretty non-stop, which DRIES the air significantly.

Make sure you are either using a room humidifier if you've got your guitars hanging on the wall, OR an In-Case humidifier if you've got your guitars stored in the case.

EVERY major acoustic guitar manufacturer requires proper humidification as part of their warranty.

Read all about humidification here:
