This two-way humidification system is almost completely maintenance-free. A very simple yet very effective way of looking after your acoustic guitar. The best way to combat this is to use a dedicated humidifier in the guitar case. This nifty little piece of kit has a sponge inside which hangs from the strings without ever touching the body and provides your guitar with a slow release of moisture to bring it back to life, preventing cracks, warped necks and shrinkage.
This will really help you in the long run as dried out and cracked guitars can cost a fortune to repair.
Simply leave it in the guitar case hanging from the strings and let it do its thing — easy! The Humiditrak sits inside your guitar case and constantly monitors the humidity levels and temperature from within, sending you hourly updates via Bluetooth to your smartphone or tablet.
If the Humidtrak detects that the temperature is too low or high, or if the humidity levels are unsuitable, it will send out an alert via push notifications to your phone or tablet allowing you to take the appropriate action before any damage can occur. The cool thing about this is that the battery can last up to two years and it will even alert you if the case has been dropped or has taken an impact on the road, logging the time at which it occurred too — perfect for those who take guitars on planes.
Simply leave it in your guitar case and create a profile for your guitar on your iOS or Android device and it will keep you up to date, hourly, daily and monthly as to how the environmental conditions are affecting your guitar!

Adult wood frogs are susceptible to predation from larger frogs, snakes, herons and mammals, like skunks and raccoons.
