thejtl Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 So I dug this thing out today and decided to try it since my Planet Waves humidipacks have gone solid. The HB Pro I had before didn't come with one. Does anyone out there use the stock Gibson one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Morton Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Gibson Montana no longer ships the sound hole humidifiers with guitars. We found that used improperly they caused more problems than help. I would only use the soundhole humidifier if you use a towel and squeeze all excess water out of the sponge and tube. If you do not! It could lead to water dripping out and causing damage to the guitar. I would restock on the Humidipaks if they have worked well for you. All the best JM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejtl Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 Thanks, Jeremy. Guess that's one of the "benefits" of buying a "new" guitar from 2005. No problem. I did put it in the morning, but had it pretty well wrong out...I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaster Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 My J-185N came with one of those sound hole humidifiers and the thing must have leaked. It caused a finish blister about the sizeof a quarter on the side of the guitar.A dumb device if there ever was one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrorod Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 This has surely been a ....'wringing endorsement'.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyK Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 You think there might be a way to reconstitute a humidipack? Soak in water? Boil in water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
57classic Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Get an Oasis. You can replace the gel yearly, easy to use, doesn't leak and lasts for a couple of weeks before you have to add water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
