Default Humidity

I live in subtropical Australia with similar humidity issues. I do keep my guitars in their cases. There are those humidipaks that you can put into the case which keep the humidity closer to 50%.
My concern is not about the wood, but the glue. When a neck reset is done, what is used? I believe the answer is humidity and heat. Avoid that combination if possible. Keep in a good case at the least and you should be right.

I’m kind of the mindset that if it’s ok weather for you to live in, your guitar will be just fine. I don’t own a hygrometer/humidifier/etc., and my guitars spend their lives outside of their cases because I own them to play them, and a cased guitar doesn’t get played as often as one out. So worry less, play more.
