i believe that lacquer checking is more a by-product of the top moving...
nowadays also arent there guitars that are made with a slight arch in the back already?

worse comes to worse, GP can refinish it for u back to brand new USA standards

i believe martin also have a line of poly finished guitars?
while taylors only moved to poly sometime in the late 90s right?

even on the mexican models?

yes, satin...but nitro or poly?
u can also achieve a satin finish with poly.

hmm i guess that would depend how many coats the satin had...i havent handled an x-series before...so no idea.
but if its a very thin wipe, i guess thats pretty nice...would be just as good as a nitro thin wipe.
but if say a 3 or 4 coat satin finish would very likely still peel.

one thing about that if not mistaken is u should make sure it can cover the whole bag area, and not just a small area where u place it at...else needless to say kinda pointless.

i guess depends how insulated the bag / case is? cos there's always the neck to also look after.
the best way really tho is to be richfag and put in aircon room.

daiso.

taylors and ibanez have gone bad due to weather here

i never bother to do anything with my gibsons, just leave it in their cases for yrs and they're still fine.

most US guitar makers keep around 45-50% humidity in their factories anyway...something thats not hard to achieve here.
the real danger is in getting too dry cos then it'll start to crack, thats why they invented humidifiers.

my cheap cort with solid top and back i just leave on my guitar stand, no warp whatever still in tune etc.
guess local weather doesnt affect it cos china weather also probably quite similar...i doubt they maintain any form of humidity control there
