Many of us are systematically checking the water level on our Christmas trees. Do you also check the humidity around your guitar collection? Hopefully you are, because winter can wreak havoc on acoustic (and electric) guitars.
In this week’s podcast, we tap into the brains of Darrell Jennings, founder of American Music Furniture. Darrell is a lifelong instrument collector who has spent the last few years creating the ultimate guitar storage solution. We talk about proper guitar storage during the winter months, the importance of humidifying your guitar room, and more.
During our conversation, Darrell offers suggestions for easy ways to hydrate your guitars at home, and even tells us about some affordable systems you can use to monitor your room’s humidity and temperature while traveling. We also talk about the work that goes into American Music Furniture’s cabinets, the technology they use, and more.
