Didn't know where to post this exactly...

Anyone with good experience in maintaining humidity levels on accoustic guitars? I have 98 Martin D28 that I rarely play and want to know what devices people have had success with in measuring and maintaining humidity. I have been using one of those sponge devices for years and wonder if there is anything better. Martin recommends between 45 -55%. I might start to digitally monitor humidity also.

Any help would be much appreciated.

It works great, you just have to stay on top of keeping the moisture in the sponge.

My classical came with a humidified case. Just two small foam humidifiers and some solution. Wonder if they'll make beads for guitars. :-)

Talk to Scott, he can probably set the beads to whatever RH% you want.

I don't have any nice enough guitars anyone to need humidification but I when used the Planet Waves one that Buena Fortuna posted above and also used the Damp-It. They worked equally well.
