 Dampit is good, damit! Dec 11, 2007
By A. Kay
The dampit guitar humidifiers are great. They are simple and effective. I don't bother with the provided plastic "hole cover" - I just place the humidifier inside the guitar while it's in it's case - that way it humidifies the whole instrument. A word of caution, as is clearly stated in the instructions, make sure to wring out and shake off excess water to avoid staining the unfinished wood inside the guitar. I've never had this problem, but I've read from other folks who mustn't have followed the instructions - and have had a problem. There are other, more expensive, more elaborate humidifying systems out there - but in my opinion, this one out-performs them and is much simpler to use! It's a great product.

preventive medicine for your acoustic guitar Jun 05, 2009
By John N. Fulmore
"Idaho John"
I live in the high mountain desert and my home (and guitars) are subjected to temperature extremes despite my having some measure of climate control.
I noticed that one of my acoustics was slowing losing its arch in the soundboard and I became concerned that the dry air was destroying this great instrument. After reviewing material on the web about maintaining proper humidity in the guitar itself and viewing a demonstration on how the use of this product had the capacity to restore a dry or drying guitar, I purchased this product with an eye to prevent any further deterioration in my guitar.
I am pleased to say that it works. At first I noticed that the guitar was not getting any dryer and the apparent change in the soundboard stopped. After about a month, the arch has come back into the top. I am glad I bought this product.
If you choose to use this product, follow directions and get some information from the web (Taylor Guitars for one) on how to tell if the instrument is dry and what to look for as humidity is restored.
My only complaint is that the measuring system to determine the level of humidity leaves quite a bit to be desired. Check your local Radio Shack or research and shop for on Amazon an easier to use meter.
A great product, you will not be sorry!

Like the super sized Mar 25, 2008
By J.D. Lennox
I've owned two other regular Dampits and this one is huge!
Best on the market if you ask me. My guitars are thankful.
Why buy one when you can have two? You won't be sorry. Just make sure to squeeze all water out.

 Disappointed! Ruined an $1800 guitar's finish! Dec 01, 2010
By Michael R. McKinney
"NucPharm"
I used this EXACTLY according to the instructions and now I have a quarter sized water spot on the back of my guitar. I am sick at my stomach over this. I soaked it. I rung it out for 5 freaking minutes and dried it off. Three days later the wood under the finish is ruined. I couldn't be more disappointed in a product at this point.

Amazing Product Jul 27, 2010
By M. Smyth
Confession time...a few months ago I knew nothing about guitar maintenance...as in I didn't even know you had to do anything special to maintain guitars. I learned the hard way.
My guitar started sounding really bad. All my strings were buzzing, even if the strings were played open. I knew something was wrong...so I looked for a culprit. I looked at the nut, and it looked right, I then looked at the bridge...and to my horror it had cracked. I took it to a guitar shop (to my great luck, I happened to live close to one of the premier custom guitar shops in the nation). Turned out my guitar had many problems, including that gnarlly crack. They were able to restore it, with some work...and some pain to my wallet.
I say that in this review because almost all of it could have been avoided by storing my guitar with a humidifier. Simply, the wood on my guitar had dried out, bowed, cracked, and was generally upset with me.
Now there are many guitar humidifiers on the market, all of which do the job. I just happen to love this one. I did a lot of research on guitar maintenance after my nightmare, and as ugly and unsexy looking as this guy is, he showed up everywhere. That's why I bought it. I have been absolutely pleased with it since. It is easy to use and my guitar loved it. I won't say it is any better or worse than the others...I just know that seemingly everyone recommends it and it works great for me.
(I would also highly recommend buying a small cigar hygrometer to keep in you case. It is a great early indicator of what you need to be doing to take care of your guitar.)
