GUITARS & CLIMATE CHANGE

Our shop, recently, received several (many) acoustic guitars with changed action and neck misalignment(s) even though owners made efforts to ensure their guitar is in a controlled climate, or in a case, or breathing open air (A/C) kept in house. Despite owner care and handling these guitars changed.

Some guitars we received had high action, under set necks, and dehydrated bodies while other guitars had signs of over set necks, fret buzz, and bloated bodies. These are symptoms of: CLIMATE CHANGE to a guitar.

Procedural, when a neck is under set with high string action the remedy is a neck reset followed by a full fret dressing. Conversely, the same procedure is the remedy for an overset neck.

We've changed our analysis when now we see these conditions. That is, prior to looking at mechanical dysfunctions we are now examining a guitar's hydration to see whether an instrument is over-hydrated or under-hydrated.
