As many of you know, keeping things humidified in Las Vegas is really difficult. We recently put all the guitars in the interior "atrium" which is smack in the middle of the living area. It is easy to humidify with the slider closed and looks good with the guitars in it. I'm super happy with this new thing.....
Now for the downside. This atrium is in the middle of the house which is (of course) air conditioned. However the ceiling is almost 18 feet up and vented to the outside. So with the slider closed, humidifying is easy. Yet when the slider is closed it gets HOT in there!!! Not like outside hot but hot enough that I'm wondering.... at what temperature do you say this is gonna be bad for my guitars?? I just ordered a digital thermometer/hygrometer from Amazon and that will be here Thursday. When I open the door to fill the humidifier it seems super hot, but then the humidity which I'm not used to, makes it worse. So at what temperature would you say this is gonna hurt my guitars? 80? 90? HELP!!
