The most important thing you can do for your new acoustic instrument is keep it properly humidified. Acoustic guitars, mandolins, and ukuleles are sensitive to changes in humidity, especially during winter months, and for this reason we recommend using an instrument / case humidifier to maintain the proper humidity level (around 45-50%). While room humidifiers help make your space a bit more comfortable, they may not provide enough humidity for your guitar which is why we specifically recommend using an instrument / case humidifier. Conversely, if you live in a very humid area, consider using a dehumidifier or moisture-absorbing packets in your guitar case to prevent over-humidification.
