We live in air-conditioning in southern MS, but during Katrina, I had no power for six weeks. I was not worried about low humidity. It got pretty high before I took them to my daughter's house with power and a-c.
That was my first high humidiy experience. I could not believe how much the guitars expanded. They got to the point of going a whole lot sharp. I kept tuning down.
Then later, I got a very dry guitar that had lived in KS a long time. The owner knew nothing about hydrating a guitar. It got dry winters and dry summers. When I got it the frets were sticking out at the edges of the fret board, but I decided to shave them down after I did a bunch of other work on it. By the time I got the other work done, the guitar had lived in MS long enough, the frets were even with the edge and I've not done anything to them yet.
These guitars can change size and shape something that is amazing.
