So Sunday 4PM, open TRIC case felt the neck
seems I was wishful on last check. It seems to be just as bad as it was.
I added a 3rd humidpak and closed it up again.
lets check back Tues. at 4pm or so

TonyKgull ,
I have a large size 75% HumidiPak I use when recalibrating all my meters. Perhaps I should put that in with the resonator?

n/m momentary insanity...

RobertW , These work the best for me I've found. Couple of bucks at a dollar store will make one a better guitar case humidy-pack than one could ever buy.

These work so well that if I don't stop using them my guitars will actually start to swell from getting too much to drink. The stick version is only for the sound hole, the rest don't use the sticks.

=====================================
"Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will
give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I
am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your
souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
- Jesus, from Matthew 11:28-30

ok Sunaday 10:30 AM
Open Tric case, removed 3 HumidPaks and sealer them in ziplocksbags,
examine Resonator
3 sharp fret on bas side 3rd-5th fret
2 sharp treble side 8th, 9th
actually some are only sharp in one direction, so i may have missed others.

RobertW,TonyKgull,Derick,ok ive left it hanging for a day or so because i was having tuning problems!
It looks like a fortnight of humidification was a waste of time. Seem to me it is just a bad as it was before.

CTGull, I smooth-cornered a couple of my so-called 'diamond' so-called 'fret files' on my grinding wheel. But i think what is needed first is a long file run perpendicular to fretboard along taped fret edges.

20cad plus another 20 shipping by the worst shipper in north america with no working tracking.

I ordered my 18:1 grovers from them. Took a month, with no updates on tracking. I am never ordering from stewmac again.

Sometimes. I pay $40 for the Stew Max free shipping. It more than pays for itself with the amount of stuff I've been buying.

I've heard that sometimes, once the wood shrinks to a certain point, that's where it settles and there's no coming back. I guess filing is in your future.

Huh? Being stuck inside due to snow storms is the perfect time to get some guitar activities in!
