Q). How does one go about properly storing guitars?
Tom - Birmingham UK.

A). Music Instruments like to be in pretty much the exact same environment as we do! So, just like we wouldn't want to be living in someplace terribly hot, or very cold, or extremely damp -- neither would an instrument. So, when you store your instrument store it someplace with average (45 -- 55%) humidity level, & at a Temp. around F 70 -- 75o. or,
24 o Celsius. When it comes to humidity, if your home is extremely dry, then a humidifier would be a good investment, and vise-versa if it is very damp, then a de-humidifier is good. And, be very careful with using humidifiers or de-humidifiers inside your guitar case. Because if the guitar is in the case the humidity level is still subject to the room overall. In general though, I would suggest storing the guitar in the case, if it is in a display cabinet or on the wall, be careful of daylight. The sun can bleach or even warp the guitar, so a room without windows would be ideal. And, finally, be sure to slack off the strings if you're storing the guitar for extended periods.
