If it's really dry you can place more than one of these in your guitar easily and raise the humidity quite a bit. Where I live, this is the only humidifier that's raised the humidity over about 38% (using two). I've actually had to be careful as I've hit almost 60%.

Using a humidity gauge in the case you can really fine tune the humidity, and because it doesn't cover the soundhole it humidifies the entire guitar.

Nice product, and Martin wouldn't make anything that would hurt your instrument. Just be sure to squeeze out the excess water.

I have several of these now, and have given them as gifts.

Pros:
No hard parts. You could probably hurl this thing at your guitar without damaging either the guitar or the humidifier. (I was always afraid I would accidentally lay my guitar on my Planet Waves humidifier and mess up the guitar.)

It doesn't rot or get otherwise cruddy. Again, Planet Waves turned into a crumbly rotten mess that refused to absorb water.

Fast and easy to load with water. Recharging the Planet Waves is a slow tedious process.

Cheaper than Dampit.

Cons:
None that I could find.

These guys work.

I own several fairly expensive acoustic guitars and thus need to keep each properly humidified (above 40%) particularly during the winter when home heating reduces humnidity levels. I have a couple of these as well as a few similar, although smaller, 'Dampit' products. These Martin products seem to last a couple of days longer than the competitor thus I check and replenish the humidifier about every nine days or so. No need to use them here in Texas other than the winter months. I recommend these.

Originaly I wrote a review saying that the shipment on this order was slow in it's arrival. I recieved a prompt e-mail from this merchant. He explained that the item was shiiped promptly and there are times when the company used to ship takes longer than the merchant anticipates. The merchant of course has no control over this. I did not consider this when I wrote the review. This retailer took the time to respond to my review, that is not something we as consumers are acustomed to. I will continue to purchase from this retailer and think that I am lucky to have found him.

Sincerely Mrs. Cindric
