About the aesthetic though, there's something is really cool about the modern implementation of the age old box with wire design. I like the marriage of old and new a lot, and in this day and age where exotic wood is becoming harder and harder to come by, Carbon Fiber sounds better and better.

Low humidity seems worse, but it's also much more commonly warned about, hence all of the case humidifiers. Seems to be little information about when a 'wet' guitar goes from temporarily losing tone to glue joints failing. Quote:

High humidity can be equally tricky. The advice of some that 'your guitar is comfortable if you're comfortable' doesn't seem accurate on either end. If outside temps are comfortable and outside RH is 60-90%+ for several weeks, it can feel great and make you inclined to turn off AC and keep windows open a lot. Not great for guitar without dehumidification. |

Thanks Warren I agree high humidity bad!! My reference, as badly as I put it, was in regards to the OP having to wet the "in case" humidifier sponge 3 times. I was suggesting something in the case was absorbing the water and possibly damaging the finish.

I gotcha now, obviously the reason high humidity is bad is because guitars absorb water. Cases absorb more water than guitars. Hard to say what was going on even if there were big swings of humidity during that time. In the Taylor 'wet' guitar PDF, a particular very wet guitar held an extra 1.3oz of water. Seems like there would be obvious moisture on guitar from what OP is describing
