at1238 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Hi- I just got a 1964 ES 120T and I've never had a hollow body before. As it's getting colder/dryer, should I be using Damp-it to humidify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinH Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I would. It might not help but it won't hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I use Humidipak for my acoustics. My guitar tech says that it wouldn't hurt to throw in a pack in every guitar case, even for a solid body guitar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzGtr Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 :D Unless you live in a very dry place like Arizona, I would not. Hollowbodies go through a natural aging process that brings out the woody sound in them. I love my hollowbodies more now than ever. Jazz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazz [/quote'] I was thinking the same thing, but do you case your guitars all the time, I don't because if I don't see em I don't play em.

NeoConMan Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I just got a 1964 ES 120T Charlottesville? North Carolina, Virginia? That's a pretty humid climate, even in the winter, eh? I would spend a few bucks on a digital temp/humidity indicator. As long as the temperature is reasonably consistent and the indoor humidity is above 35% you got no worries. Under 35%, take a hot shower or cook something on the stove - especially if you have gas. Puts lotsa water vapor in the air. In 45 years I'm sure that guitar has been exposed to some climate changes. Not saying to take it lightly, just realize it's probably weathered a little and 'broke in' by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
