Guitar Storage?

[Revolusion]

Hey people i store my guitar in my room where i turn on the air con at night but let the bloody blazin blasting heat of the sun come and overwhelm my room in the day, so does that like kill my guitar? i mean there are times where i take out my guitar out and it starts condensing on my dear pickups cos of the hot cold air phenomona. My amps and gear i also put in my room. they also go thru the same shit. So does this affect/damage my gear in the long run? i have 2 guitars one i keep in a hard case and the other one in a soft case. Thanks Guys!

i think if you put it away from direct sunlight and let the room warm up slowly after you switch off the aircon , it shouldnt be a problem , check the manula that comes with your guitar

Get it to stay away from direct sunlight/air-con. You might want to keep the air-con on but do be careful coz some guitar necks bend if it's too dry.

ok thanks

conditional severity will occur if the instrument is exposed to immediate change in temparature, repeatedly. if it's a gradual change, no harm would surface but periodical checks would be recommended.

and you might wanna keep them thirsty hippos in your room!
and some silica gel in your cases.. :mrgreen:

what if i have a few electric and acoustic guitars on guitar stands and dun keep them in the gig bags having them exposed. Should i open the windows after i turn off the air con or keep the windows closed?
Will the thirsty hippos help if i open the windows after turnin the aircon off?

well its not that drastic i guess , i leave all my guitars in my room , but the windows are hardly open immediately , i believe if your guitar is of good quality , certainly the weather would not be a problem
