Yeah, one of those Taylor videos I believe said 47% RH was what they used, and a balmy 75 degrees, I don't know what that translates to in wood moisture content.

Martin uses similar numbers:

They both recommend 45-55% ambient RH for their guitars.

Here is an article quoting both Martin and Taylor on their numbers:
