Time for some guitarist jokes...

Just wondering, is there any way to acclimate that?

It looks pretty acclimated to me.

Okay, but if you take it inside a warm house, then what happens?

 

[JohnW63]

I suspect this is how lots of finish checking is created.

It gets well humidified?

If you leave it there then it will get acclimated to that environment.

I suppose I was wondering if the guitar is NCL and you discover to your horror that someone left it outside, how do you get it back into the house without finish checking? Leave a case outside to get cold, put guitar in case. Leave a box outside to get cold, put case in box. Take all inside and wait. Would that be the only safe option, other than leave it outside until spring?

I’d imagine that guitar is trashed, but for the sake of discussion the issue with NCL cracking is rapid changes in temperature, so as long as you could dry it off and raise the temp slowly you might get lucky, assuming it hasn’t already cracked from likely being frozen.

It’s amazing how well some of that lines up.

I would imagine the guy that made the video listens to the original BB audio, especially the parts where his fingering can be seen, mimics those parts semi faithfully, albeit in shredder mode, (of course) then takes full liberties on any parts where BB's hands can't be seen.

I would get as much snow off as I can, then start the car in the driveway and put the guitar in it, no heat on. Then turn up the heat very gradually over the next hour....then bring it inside.

The band I used to work for often played Saranac Lake during their winter carnival. One year it got down to -20F outside. All our gear was in a non climatized trailer. We unloaded the gear into the club and were tuning up for soundcheck in less than hour's time. That's about all you need. Especially w/ an acoustic.

I went camping once on Saranac Lake. We paddled our gear in canoes out to an island in the lake. Beautiful place. But the water is still cold in the summer!

I played in a band that had a lot of gigs in northern VT ski areas in the winter, and we had to allow extra time for the frost that would form on our equipment when we brought it in from -20 degrees outside to a warm, humid barroom.
Usually took 30-40 mins and then we were good to go.

It creates a puddle while it acclimates..... I'd put a towel down for sure.

If there's a ten guitar limit, I better be watching my step!
