Marco your temperature and humidity levels are at good levels for your guitars, if they remain in this range I see no need for any humidification

I've been thumb whacking for years, learned it from an old friend years ago.

One of my fondest musical memories was the first time I heard The Weight
Siting in my bed room ( 1968 ) in a suburb of Washington DC listing to am radio from Boston WBZ that I could pick up at night.
Bought the album Music From Big Pink as soon as I could

Love it, been looking for a tune to play thanks.
A C7th cord gets me every time

I replaced the tuners on my Guild D40 with grovers, must have been early seventies.
There still going strong, a lot of the gold finish has worn off the knobs. These must be first generation grovers notice the pat pending
Fads they come and go

My J45tv has similar etching on it's bridge plate, AJ some thing.
I believe they mark them because there precut to fit the bracing patterns of the model of the guitar
My 45 has advance jumbo bracing

Did you have such a tradition? Do you wake your guitar near the Appalachians every year?
Ever since I moved back to this area 20 years ago
Before that I would have said " On the barrier islands of Virginia's Eastern Shore"
5 hours ago, Little Feat said:Why do you send your J-45 for a time out every year? Play it, its what its made for.
Humidity concerns, I can control levels when the guitar is cased I like to leave a guitar on a stand in my home office and don't case it.
In the winter I have the Epi on the stand, being a laminate back and sides I believe it can tolerate the lower humidity better
The Epi was made to be played also, and the Guild .........

It's that time of the year in the foot hills of the appalachian mountains, to wake up the J45 after months in the case.
And take it's spot on the stand, where the Epiphone has been residing all winter. Yippe!

I think the guitar you have now AJ200 older model is a fine guitar, I have a 98 AJ28 that I play all winter when humidity is low and I keep my solid wood guitars cased.
I like the looks of the Epi Humming Bird cherry burst also and have one on a stand in my kitchen. Seems like the bird your looking at is priced a bit high, do you need to plug in?
Have your AJ set up by a competed person ( do your research get recommendations from other players ) Have some new strings put on it try some DR Sunbeams I realy like them on my Epiphone
Keep looking for the bird you will find one no rush, may be you will get the real deal Gibson Bird

Others will chime in, but the screw for a bridge pin is brilliant
