I live in the mid-Atlantic region and this is the time of year we run our oil-fired, forced are heating system in the house. I have a great practice studio in my home in the basement, and keep my guitars hung on the wall (convenience and show).
I've noticed that since the end of summer my guitars (Fender Custom, PRS Johnny Highland, Godin LGXT...) just dont seem to stay in tune lately. At a gig last nite my Fender, which usually very good keeping tune, was constantly out of tune. Mid song, and almost every song I had to retune.
I am imagining this is related to the humidity levels in the house?
What recommendations do you guys have for proper humidity control? I would prefer a room humidifier, versus a whole house (we are replacing the HVAC next year).
What is the specific humidity level I should try to keep the studio at? What do use to measure the relative humidity?
I just want my guitars to stay in tune again! arrrrgh....!
