In Hong Kong at the moment there is 90% humidity....floors wont dry, everything is dank and damp. I have a Martin D28 which is virtually new.
I can find oodles of info about how to humidify your guitar...but not much about whether it is dangerous for a guitar to be exposed to such high humidity.
Is this kind of humidity (temperatures are only about 20 degrees celcius) dangerous?
Or is it way more dangerous for a guitar to dry out? Is it way more dangerous for a guitar to suffere extreme temperates....as opposed to humidity?
What's the go with high humidity but mild temperatures?
I didn't take my guitar out of it's case for a couple of days but when I did it had a bit of a film of not necessarily wet/ water but kind of a film of every so slight grease/ moisture...like a film.
Anyway...Hong Kong...humid right now...in summer humid also...
I heard that dehumidifiers are a bit of a joke...
Should I be overly concerned about high humidity?
thanks
