We are crossing west Texas during the annual Blowing Dirt Festival (Jan 1 through Dec 31 each year), being held in conjunction this year with the Crappy Road Festival. Yeah, it has been a windy, humid, dry, lumpy ride... if our kid didn't live in the Phoenix area, we wouldn't be going this way.

That said, the X7 has gotten some play each day and is still in tune. I am enjoying the size! And the sound. The guitar is handling this lack of humidity better than this island boy - I had to spray saline up my nose. The guitar couldn't wait to come out and play.
Saline in the CF Guitar wouldn't have any affect. Dripping saline on the guitar might be a little disturbing. In the words of an exasperated Dr. McCoy, "for God's sake Jim, be careful"
