You need to let the guitar sit open in a room that is climate controlled at the least, so that way the fretboard, neck and everywhere else can relax, not just the body internals

One way to get humidification is to set the guitar up on a stand in your bathroom after you take a shower and just close the door for several hours. You don't want beads of water all over it but it's a nice humid environment if you have no other way of dealing with it. If it's still real dry where you are then put it back in the case till you can do it again.

Makes sense...when I run a humidifier in my room on full blast, I still don’t see much of a rise if I set my hygrometer on the other side of the room.
So what’s the best method I should use here...run a hot shower and keep the guitar in there for a while? Set it up right next to a humidifier?
