HUMIDITY
Many things are better wetter. Not guitar woods. Before the thin woods that make up your guitar are put together, they must be stable. And that means they must have the right moisture content.
When wood is first cut, most of its weight is water. To reach a level of stability - about 6% moisture - it has to lose most of that water gradually. Too fast and it will crack, split or warp.
We use a combination of kiln and air drying to bring the wood into the most stable state to build your guitar. We also let glued parts like necks and braced soundboards rest between operations to relieve internal stresses. |
