    Suggested models of hygrometer? 
    Digital ones from Argos or Amazon
    I like the Oregon ones, but better to buy 3 cheap ones rather than one pricey one

    It's below 40% now with this cold dry weather! 
    It actually puts me off buying a higher-end acoustic as they can be so easily damaged with natural conditions.

    I'm just going to the guitar shop for the first time in an age. I'm actually going to check GS mini's (so easy to pick up and take to friends') but I recall they were nowhere near as good as my Larry OM and now cost £600!!

    Larrivees are high-enough end guitars to worry about already with the humidity. In fact I first learned about the issue from the manuals that came with my Larrivees

    I only checked the manual out after I stumbled across it a few years after I bought my Larrivee and yeah its really useful.

    Also this thread has just reminded me that I forgot to hide my L-02 from the Beast from the East inside its case! Oops.

    After a very cold couple of weeks and a couple of days when it didn’t get above -1 all day (no higher than -4 yesterday!) my heating has been on a lot more than usual. Humidity has been hovering around the 30% mark, and I’ve seen it go down as low as 24%. My Taylor is staying in its case until the weather gets back to normal!

    I recorded this last night on the acoustic after trying to learn the solo to it. Yes, I need to work on the singing!!




    I'm 100% acoustic right now. Have got about 40 songs and I'm really getting into artists like Johnny Cash, John Denver and the like!

    Yep - one of the chaps I work with is going to it (Tommy Emmanuel workshops). I considered it until I saw the price. It's a phenomenal opportunity, but don't really have that kindof spare cash.....

    Christy Moore is good! 
    I've been listening to a lot of Foreigner and Lindsay Buckingham, too. 

    Will listen to Gillian Welch now.

    Camp looks cool though I don't know how much you'd get out of it that you wouldn't playing at home.
