Help! Fret Sprouting

[guitfiddle]

Thanks for the update. It's very dry here in the winter as well, so I was watching this thread to see how you made out. I don't have a humidifer for the house, but I do keep the guitars cased when not in use (as you do). I have case humidifiers in with the acoustics. Maybe I should be doing the same for the electrics.

How did you get it so quick? Musta been a week or so when I ordered it.

Dunno. I ordered it the same day you mentioned it.

Brad's in Ohio right next to Pennsylvania where Fret Doctor ships from, so the USPS can actually manage to get it to him in a timely manner, or at least they managed this time. They say most domestic mail arrives in 2-3 days, I'm not sure where they get their figures from though.

That was the forum software modifying my link.
I edited the original it a bit.
Ironically if you click on the link that shows in my reply which you quoted in your response it will work

I got it now. Thanks! That looks like a nice cheap way to make a case humidifier.

Another Update:

I just went and picked up a 12 gallon whole-house humidifier and set it up in the same room as my guitars. It has a humidity setting on it, so I can monitor the "wetness" of the room. I have it set to keep the room at about 50%-60% humidity. Let's hope this helps better than the little one I had going.

My house could use the moisture anyway, so this was a win/win whether it helps with the guitars or not.
