Actually a bowl of water will leave stain marks inside the guitar, a sponge rung out and sat between the strings would be a better alternative if it’s too dry

Of course the outside of the bowl itself is not wet. Not talking sight-impairment here. The humidity source needs to be inside the body, not on top of. Your sponge in a bowl, inside the guitar, a good synthesis that will prevent spills, and this is how I’ll do it in the future.

WHICH REMINDS ME! A master luthier kind enough to post a tutorial removed stains from a cracked finish area in the top of a guitar with demineralized water, which actually grabs on to dirt to remineralize itself. Tried it myself on the inside of a guitar I was working on, it works like a charm. Got to use demineralized, no other kind of water.

Hi Steve,

Can you send me a private message with the link of the tute. Just wanted to know how the whole process goes with this job. Cheers

You write that the neck is straight and the action is fine for you. How much belly is there in the top? There should be a little belly. If you lay a straight edge across the top, below the bridge, there should be a total of 1/8 for both sides.

How much belly does your guitar have? If the guitar plays well, it probably doesn't matter.
