Your guitar has been having sex with a cheap banjo. Look out for lipstick stained post coital cigarette butts.heavyneeerd wrote:I've got an ESP and when i leave it in its case i open it up and theres moisture on it anyone else had this happen?

Sounds like it's just the temperature difference between the inside of the case and the outside air causing condensation.

take it out of the rain?
Maybe the case has water in its lining? try putting it in a room with a dehumidifier in it (not with the guitar in the case!)?

LOL
Seriously though. There's water in your case dude. Take the guitar out and leave the case wide open for a few days in a dry atmosphere. Preferably with a fan blowing on it. Guitars don't sweat moisture. The moisture got on your esp by some other means.
