This if from the website regarding the humidification aspect. I am shocked that it will only have to cycle two times per hour on average. There is a 3 gallon reservoir under the cabinet.


Active, Controlled Ultrasonic Humidification
A generous supply reservoir that feeds a super-efficient digitally controlled electronic humidification chamber combine with whisper quiet circulation fans to make up the heart of our unique system.

Silently, the system functions to maintain the humidity envelope the user sets. As a general rule, each humidification cycle is completed in under two minutes, and in rooms that host an ambient relative humidity of 20 percent, the system will cycle approximately 2 times per hour. Under occasionally high relative humidity conditions, such as those that oscillate during summer months, the integrity of cabinet's tight solid wood construction moderates exterior humidity levels to (depending upon the control setting) between 45 and 55 percent relative humidity.

What a great cabinet... I think I've just developed CAS!

I visited the builder's website and saw they do bi-fold doors too, which seems to be a clever way to get quick 'n safe access to the guitars.

Looking forward to seeing photos of it when it's finished and filled.

Shame on you Tom for feeding us forum members with more acquisitions to add to our never-ending lists. It looks really good!

Of course, you'll need some walnut guitars to go in the case.
Just sayin...

Wouldn't that be cannibalism?

Updates: The upper portion of the cabinet has been framed and the bifold doors completed and installed. The humidity providing components are in place and now the top of the cabinet will be removed and stained and the doors sent out to have the glass installed:

It’s looking great Tom. Put a stool in it. It’s big enough to serve as a sound room

Yes, a lot of getting this done was to make sure it would look good in the house too or else it really would have not been right. So the company even worked with me to find a stain that would look good with my flooring. Sent them pictures, they sent me samples, first class all the way!
