DEhumidifying

[rbrown]

O.K  I've read alot about keeping guitars humidified.  That's not my problem.  I live 5 blocks from the Pacific Ocean in So. California.  I keep P-Waves humidity guages in all cases.  For the past few days the humidity in each case is at 60%..That worries me.  What are my options for dehumidifying.,

Are the P-Waves Humidipac's worth the cost?  I do NOT want to leave the guitars out of the cases.

Anyone got some sound advice?

I don't thing 60% is going to hurt you much, unless it goes from very dry to that 60% overnight.  My music room is often 60% in the summer. Hasn't hurt anything yet.

If you really want to do something about it, you might try getting a room de-humidifier like these:

One thing to remember - the smaller it is the more often you have to empty it.

Russ,

The Humidipacs are working great for me (I'm also blocks from the ocean).  Through the latest change of season, furnace on and off, A/C, etc. they have kept my cases at a constant 46%.

Best,

i bought Humidipacs for all my guitars, and they seem to be doing a great job.  I will tolerate the expense for the simplicity of the method, and the peace of mind I get from knowing the guitars are protected.
