Re: New Stuff Day
Mine live in their cases in the wardrobe these days. I don't have a guitar room / office at present so they'd be vulnerable if I just left them out (wee kids running around). Also, the temperature in the bedroom doesn't fluctuate much (well, maybe an occasional minor increase but that only lasts about two minutes...).

Re: New Stuff Day
yeah I'm the same. I feel bad about how little I play some of them, so I leave most of them out on stands.olegmcnoleg wrote: I use a dehumidifier, and I find I play the guitars more if I have them out, and not locked away in cases.
I also get super guilty about not playing my White Falcon enough, so it's on a stand by the couch. I still barely ever play it though, always ends up being my strat.
Funnily enough the only guitars in cases are my Les Paul and Firebird, the two I gig with, they only really come out for rehearsals and shows

You are lucky to live there, it is a great part of the world. (coming out there just after Christmas for a holiday in fact).kwhelan wrote:I use a dehumidifier, and I find I play the guitars more if I have them out, and not locked away in cases.
I Suspected as much re the playing,
what is this humidity you speak of
Hawkes Bay its sits on zero and the sun is so bad, there's only two places in the world where fabrics aren't covered for fading and Hawkes Bay is one of them. Some car colors just aren't worth ordering here and your fancy smancy outdoor furniture only looks good for one season and its history
But I've been there is winter, and you certainly have humidity then, same as everywhere else in NZ.

Re: New Stuff Day
None of my guitars on hangers were harmed, in fact they faced the least danger, the instruments in cases potentially were exposed to crushing.jeremyb wrote:It took me about 5 years after the earthquakes to be able to have guitars out on stands / hangers and not in hardcases in a safe place, no damage to my guitars during the quakes as they were all in cases then, altho' one of the cases got mashed by a 6' bookcase that fell on it, but the guitar survived
Just a gentle sway for those on hangers.
Tin arse!!

Mmm we had violent shakes that threw most of the house across the room, ones on hangers on walls would have gone thru the gib I would have imaginedTerexgeek wrote:None of my guitars on hangers were harmed, in fact they faced the least danger, the instruments in cases potentially were exposed to crushing.jeremyb wrote:It took me about 5 years after the earthquakes to be able to have guitars out on stands / hangers and not in hardcases in a safe place, no damage to my guitars during the quakes as they were all in cases then, altho' one of the cases got mashed by a 6' bookcase that fell on it, but the guitar survived

Correct - both my 6 and 7 are on the shelf. They don’t hang on the wall very well!Molly wrote:On the shelf to the left I think.Mattallica wrote:I can't see the *strandberg?

Yes, if I lived near CCH, this would be a concern... the guitars swaying gently on the hangers as the house crashes into them at > 2g.jeremyb wrote:Mmm we had violent shakes that threw most of the house across the room, ones on hangers on walls would have gone thru the gib I would have imaginedTerexgeek wrote:None of my guitars on hangers were harmed, in fact they faced the least danger, the instruments in cases potentially were exposed to crushing.jeremyb wrote:It took me about 5 years after the earthquakes to be able to have guitars out on stands / hangers and not in hardcases in a safe place, no damage to my guitars during the quakes as they were all in cases then, altho' one of the cases got mashed by a 6' bookcase that fell on it, but the guitar survived
