hello! new to the forum here, so thought I would do my best to post a full on newbie question.
santa was sweet this year and brought a gad30R for me. love at first sight! it so pretty!
So now I have some humidity questions i am hoping someone here can help with..... I think the guitar was dried out when I got it (I live in a low humidity climate, 15% is typical) and I'm wondering how long it will take to rehydrate. First of, the nice ebony endpin is very loose in the hole and won't stay in. For the week I have had it, I have been storing the guitar in the case with an oasis in the soundhole and the pin is not as loose, but would certainly fall out if I tipped the neck up. Second wierdness is the top is a little wavey perpendicular to the grain. That too is smoothing out but not there yet.
I've been able to get it to 34% and have to refill the oasis every couple days. So, what do you think? Give it a couple more weeks? Get a second oasis?? Play less so I can hydrate more (ok that's not gonna happen...)
thanks!!
