I live in an environment where the relative humidity is about 80% year round - very little change. I have been told by knowledgable people that that's fine for an acoustic guitar and that I dont really need to get a dehumidifier, etc. What do yuo all think?

Humidity fluctuates during the day and averages mean little because they are a statistical number of an accumulation of the ranges & data points. AC should keep it constant. Just buy a thermometer with a humidity meter and keep it constant. I would prefer a wood moisture meter to actually see/record what is happening over time.

Default Scary zombie thread time of year!

I've seen some zombie threads but not one quite this old. How do folks find these? I can't "see" past a few months worth of postings.........

Jimbo (the person above you) must have done a search for humidity, as he bumped three zombie threads on the subject. One from 2016, one from 2008, and this one from 2005.

I revived it to add to the discussion, never know these days, someone may have a new technology that takes care of the problem ? I think to get humidity down you can use those small room renewable dehumidifier products. Let's say you have a 10x10x8 room in the house, 800 cu ft, need 3 of these and a humidity meter to monitor the room.
