Commonly Asked Questions About Guitar Display Cases

What types of instruments are affected by humidity?

Any instrument that utilizes wood as a construction material will be affected by humidity. This includes those made with solid tonewoods, laminates, and even resonator guitars that use a wooden neck and joint. Humidity will have an effect on woodwinds, mandolins, ukuleles, violins, and other instruments too, regardless of their build quality due to wood being a porous material. Porous materials have the ability to both absorb and release moisture, which causes the material to shrink and swell with changes in relative humidity.

Is it better to store a guitar in a case or on a stand?

A guitar stand is a great way to display and access your guitars during a jam session or even in your living room to display them on the floor. If you’re looking for a wall-mount storage option, The Nashville Habitat guitar case will fit one or two guitars and also actively humidify them too.
