    • This system has taken all the guess work and worry out of humidifying my guitars
    • The old bag/method was simply fabric, with no risk of scratching or denting the guitar.
    • This will help prevent your fine solid wood guitar from drying out
    • The guitar plays just as well as it did when I got it, and she's with me now in Boston :)Cannot recommend this humidifier enough
    • Initially, the Planet Waves Humidipak appeared to be the perfect solution for one who loves their classical guitar
    • For me its worth it, because it gives me one less thing to try to remember, and I sleep at night knowing my expensive guitar is safe from our dry climate
    • Bought these and watched an the face returned to form, neck straighten somewhat and after a tuneup, the Fender is the best sounding guitar I have ever owned!
    • This is the best guitar humidifier I have found
    • A dry guitar cracks, and a damp guitar swells and sounds dead
    • My first experience with the Planet Waves Humidipak system was a bit alarming as they over humidified my guitar by a slight amount
    • The initial dose may have dehumidified the air in the case, but the guitar itself will continue to lose moisture, causing the humidity to go back up
    • My guitar hasn't had any issues because I just keep it in the case with these packs
    • I have this system installed in 12 different arch top guitar cases.
    • Acoustic ( wooden ) guitars will sustain damage if subjected to low humidity for long periods.
    • The Packet(s) leaked and damaged my Martin guitar and case.
    • Unlike an ordinary guitar humidifier which basically sucks water out of the humidifier if the humidity is low , what do you do when the humidity is
    • The packets never come in contact with the wood of your guitar and in no way harm the guitar
    • Because I maintain that guitar, as well as all my guitars with proper humidity ... the best friend a guitar can have.
    • I purchased this product because I did not want to hastle with having a water-based humidifier in an expensive guitar (Breedlove Pro D25/SR Herringbone) nor did I want to monitor the inaccurate readings of a hygrometer.
    • If you take the time to shop for an excellent guitar it pays to make this small investment.
    • I should stress that I have not had any problems with my guitar, no cracks or anything of that nature, but this system just can't put out enough humidity to keep the guitar safe in a climate with cold winters
    • I had hoped that the humidification system would keep my valuable all solid wood guitars properly hydrated during the winter low humidity conditions found here in Vermont.
    • So why would you deprive your guitar of essential moisture?
    • I never trust my guitar to
    • I used these last winter on three of my best guitars when the humidity reached dangerous levels
    • but so is a good guitar
    • I have a Taylor 910ce, and two other guitars I use these on - very simple and works great!
    • These protect my guitars but they don't last very long
    • I was able to correct the shape of a warped acoustic guitar with two pads - one in the guitar case and other in opening of guitar.
    • IF YOU HAVE A NICE GUITAR

    • My favorite guitar humidification system
    • These are good for maintaining your favorite guitars however, the quality control by the manufacturer is severly lacking
    • I use this humidifier system for my favorite guitar
    • I didn't want to force it in by all means because that would damage my Ramirez guitar
    • but if I only get 5 or 6 rejuvs out of each set, it's still more than worth the money spent to keep my guitar happy
    • I use this for my solid wood acoustic guitars, and supplement this system with the old-fashioned dampened sponges in hole-poked ziplock bags
    • I love that these things are fairly foolproof, as I didn't like the idea of potentially damaging my solid wood Martin guitar by water dripped from a competing product.
    • I own 10 top end guitars and wish to keep them as long as I live.
    • The pouches are very soft and i can't see how they would scratch the guitar.
    • Simplest way that there is to humidify your beloved guitar.
    • You've got to be careful with good solid wood guitars, these seem to help.
    • Highly touted by the Taylor Guitar manufacturer to protect their guitars.
    • They seemed very close to normal when I place them in the pouches in my hard shell guitar case but within 5 days the material had thickened to the same state as the ones I was replacing which had served me from August to early January
    • I trust this to keep my favorite guitar safe from cracks, so will keep buying.
    • Keeps my guitar in good shape in the dry winter months, just like our LifeSaver system does for our piano.
    • What guitars do these actually work on?
    • I love my guitars too

    • I live in Beijing and these keep my guitars safe during the dry winter
    • Before I discovered them I had several very expensive guitars crack, while in their case, from lack of humidity
    • D’Addario has taken all the work out of the process and has given me peace of mind to know my guitar is well taken care
    • Then the humidity drops down to single digits, and my poor acoustic guitar just cannot handle it
    • They keep my guitar well
    • The Arion Humidifier solved that problem, and I recommend using this setup to anyone else concerned about protecting their guitars (and wallets).
    • My advice; If you love your guitar, CHECK THE MOISTURE PACKS CAREFULLY to make sure they're not leaking before you put them in the holder and into your precious guitar
    • I had lost guitars before because other products didn't work reliably, this one does for me.

    • Amazing, the guitar stays in tune the entire time it is in its case!!

    • This keeps maintenance down to a minimum,, protects the guitar and saves money.
    • Excellent insurance that your prize guitar does not crack (like my Taylor) in in-humid conditions.
    • Best product to keep your guitar safe from the effects of dry weather

    • To their credit the company paid to clean up the guitar

    • Regardless if you paid $250 or $5000 for your axe, get these + the holders (look for the associated product) and you'll have a happy guitar for many years
    • Do not use on your expensive guitars.
    • It's easy to install, and keeps the guitar safe from the usual dry weather I live.
    • Down here in the southeastern US we have a moist climate so the first system installed in late summer actually absorbed water up into mid November, keeping the guitar from swelling and losing its tuning
    • My nice guitar depends on it
    • By the way; unless you keep your guitars inside a hard shell case, I seriously doubt any humidifier is going to protect your guitar in an environment at 20 to 30 percent humidity.
    • It seems to be easier to use, less likely to damage your guitar, and like it will last longer.
    • We own several high end acoustic guitars, and we obsess over their well being, especially when it comes to humidity

    • Taylor, the most amazing guitar company in the world, is currently rebuilding the guitar for me for free.
    • Its not a cheap method of maintaining proper humidification, but for expensive acoustic guitars, its well worth the cost
    • I had lost guitars before because other products didn't work reliably, this one does for me.

    • This item is very good, if not perfect, to protect your guitar
    • I use the $7.99 basic Planet Waves unit with a sponge inside it that fits between the strings and it works GREAT!(On a TAYLOR 614) Not a cheap guitar
    • As long as I don't leave the case open too long, the Humidipak seems able to maintain the humidity close to the desired level - not perfect, but not as bad as before the dehumidifying procedure
    • It has worked well when the furnace is running as well as when the dehumidifier in the studio has kicked in on a rainy balmy day.
    • If you go through them as fast as I have in the past, they start to get really expensive
    • Bags should harden as they collect moisture but after an entire summer in the northeast they are as pliable as when first opened.
