Siggy got high?

Is this higher than Siggy used to be?  If so, don't stop checking at that neck.  If your neck angle looks fine and the neck hasn't bowed forward at all either, then it's possible the belly (the lower bout that the bridge sits on) has swollen a bit from too much humidity.

If that's the case, then just leave her out somewhere (somewhere outside your humidified guitar room) and let her dry off and "settle down" and she should be fine.  But ya, "usually," if the only thing that's happened is that the bridge/saddle has risen up a bit, and everything else is as it should be, it means it has gotten a bit too much to drink! 

So ya, she may be a bit high!  Ha ha!   

It's hard to explain in text form, but those articles you posted from Taylor on dryness and humidity in another thread recently have pictures to help you visualize how to check this. 

I know some people have trouble letting their guitars dry out at bit, but don't be scared, if it's a wee bit over humidified, letting it dry out a bit is not only healthy for the guitar, but it'll sound much better after as well! 

TonyKgull,CTGull,

A thought occurred to me ( yes dangerous, I know)
Could using a sound hole cover, whether solid rubber or wood filigree, cause the interior humidity to rise because of reduced airflow? And could that rise be enough to cause the top to swell?

A belly behind the bridge is normal. if you put a straight edge across the top, lean it to one side (vs. trying to equalize it), and measure the gap at the other side. 3-4mm is fine.

measure where? at the binding? 5mm

action and relief are fine, to me

I don't "think" so.  But, theoretically, if you were to put the rubber one on a guitar that had a good amount of humidity in the air at the time, you'd be sealing it and there would be no where for the humidity to go but into the guitar.

The rubber would have to be on there for 3 or 4 days at least though for this to be possible.

This is again, just theoretical.

It is my understanding that if a guitar is exposed to humidity constantly, it will keep "soaking it up."  That's why people way down south have such problems with guitars swelling.  Letting the guitar dry out a bit every now and then is good for it and they have no way to do that.  A humid guitar can sound a bit dull or muddy and can loose some of its resonance too.

I have never lived in a place, ever, that was humid all year around, not even a single "guitar room" that was kept humid, so I don't have any first hand experience with a guitar exposed to constant humidity year round to share.  I only know the theory.   

Sorry, that's probably no help at all.  LOL. 

Did you mean to say, "I do not see how it could be over humidified?" 

Anyways, I'm starting to wonder something.  I wonder if, with all the delicacies of wood acoustics and all the variables with the woods, I wonder if some guitars could soak up more humidity than others?

I mean we always talk about how we're dealing with organic material here and how every piece is just a little different from another because of that right?    I wonder.
