  I use some commercial stuff and other stuff I make up on my own.

Planet wave.  I usually tuck it into half an old sock and put it under the neck or in the pocket at the top out the bout, rather than in the soundhole.

What heating season?  I still have the a/c running.

I use a Planet Waves Cello humidifier.

It's like an egg shaped water holder....sits in the case.....not in the guitar.

I use this :)


I use one of those too.  When it can no longer maintain at least 40% humidity, the guitars stay in their cases with a vinyl hose and sponge type like a dampit.

Other, whole house unit.

I gotta dig mine out of the storage building and see if it will make one more winter. It's about 30 years old now and was still working last winter.

Anyone know the om lite model from larrivee

Yes I think I just got it and iwakt to know if it solid wood and what kind  also how much it sold when it was new. Mine has a pick up intgrated in it is it factory? 

In Salem Oregon and yes it has an end pin but I don't have the guitar with me right now so I don't know if the pick up is by the saddle

Let's talk on your thread.


NY City in the winter with radiator heat, I use a soap dish/sponge under the headstock but not touching and a dampit in the guitar.  Keeps it at about 50% humidity.  If it gets much above that, I pull one or the other.  I keep a Caliber III hygrometer in each of three cases.  I got religion about humidity when a Martin got a hairline crack.

I have two of these. It's dry up here from December to April.

   

I use Oasis in case humidifiers. I don't particularly like the ones that slip between the strings. Just me. :smile:
'09 Larrivee LS-03R #66 "Bella"
'07 Larrivee PV-09E "Holly"

good day all.

A dampit (snake) in the soundhole and a damp sponge (in a plastic snack bag riddled with holes) up by the headstock. So I use more than one but voted dampit as my primary method of humidifying.
that'll keep it in check.

Why you asked? I used to use a planet waves but found it getting moldy after a year.  I don't experience this problem with the dampit.
