I have grappled with the accuracy of hygrometers and frankly have concluded that pinpoint accuracy, for a guitar collector's purposes, is unimportant. The two things that are important is that the proper humidity range be maintained and that sudden changes be avoided.

I use two portable humidifiers with built in hygrometers and a small Planet Waves hygrometer. In my relatively small office, none of them agree within more than 4-8%, but as long as all three devices think the relative humidity is somewhere between 40% and 50%, then I'm cool with it.

I think trying to get an exact read on the RH is a fool's errand.
