Actually...I think if you have a "good" room humidifier...and you monitor the humidity levels in the room, then you're ok. I have a planet waves and another brand...but can't remember the name. I'll check that for you tomorrow. I also have a digital barometer/thermometer in my case. Of course...I have a washburn...that sits out in the open...and gets knocked around by my dog's tail too...hehe. But the Taylor gets babied.
