Dampit is good, damit!
The dampit guitar humidifiers are great. They are simple and effective. I don't bother with the provided plastic "hole cover" - I just place the humidifier inside the guitar while it's in it's case - that way it humidifies the whole instrument. A word of caution, as is clearly stated in the instructions, make sure to wring out and shake off excess water to avoid staining the unfinished wood inside the guitar. I've never had this problem, but I've read from other folks who mustn't have followed the instructions - and have had a problem. There are other, more expensive, more elaborate humidifying systems out there - but in my opinion, this one out-performs them and is much simpler to use! It's a great product.
Like the super sized
I've owned two other regular Dampits and this one is huge!
Best on the market if you ask me. My guitars are thankful.
Why buy one when you can have two? You won't be sorry. Just make sure to squeeze all water out.
preventive medicine for your acoustic guitar
I live in the high mountain desert and my home (and guitars) are subjected to temperature extremes despite my having some measure of climate control.
I noticed that one of my acoustics was slowing losing its arch in the soundboard and I became concerned that the dry air was destroying this great instrument. After reviewing material on the web about maintaining proper humidity in the guitar itself and viewing a demonstration on how the use of this product had the capacity to restore a dry or drying guitar, I purchased this product with an eye to prevent any further deterioration in my guitar.
I am pleased to say that it works. At first I noticed that the guitar was not getting any dryer and the apparent change in the soundboard stopped. After about a month, the arch has come back into the top. I am glad I bought this product.
If you choose to use this product, follow directions and get some information from the web (Taylor Guitars for one) on how to tell if the instrument is dry and what to look for as humidity is restored.
My only complaint is that the measuring system to determine the level of humidity leaves quite a bit to be desired. Check your local Radio Shack or research and shop for on Amazon an easier to use meter.
A great product, you will not be sorry!
