• Not Reliable

  
  As reviewed by on 8/27/2007

  If you're looking for an accurate hygrometer to protect your instrument, keep looking... I tested 2 Planet Waves unites (purchased to monitor 2 martin guitars) and found that they both reported wild fluctuations in humidity over a 24 hour period. In my line of work, our environmental lab (used for testing electronics) has a quality hygrometer which recorded the set test area humidity (in a 24 hour period) between 48%-50%. Over the same period, in the same location, both Planet Waves units recorded readings between 31% - 52%. The Planet Waves units did not even agree with each other and recorded low humidity readings randomly over a 24 hour period as shown on each of the date/time memories. The test was repeated 3 times with similar results. Clearly these 2 Planet Waves units are not reliable and if representative of the design, should be avoided. As mentioned, it?s unclear if this is a design flaw or the result of something missed in quality control however it is clear that this defect would prompt the user to employ a humidifier product when it?s unnecessary.

  This is a must-have if you play a nice acoustic and live in a dry place, or even just a house that is heated. The gauge is a nice bonus, too - a lot of people over-humidify their guitars, which can be just as dangerous as dryness. I use this on my Gibson Songwriter Deluxe, and absolutely love it. It has done a fantastic job of keeping my guitar at the right humidity. A great product for a great price!

  Finally I have found a quality guitar humidifier that holds enough water as well as despenses it safely to maintain the humididty levels I like. It would take at least 3 of those little clay pots or messy sponges to do the job and where do you put them. Thanks Planet Waves!
