Humidifying A Resonator Guitar?
What do you use to humidify a Resonator guitar?
I just bought a Beard Round Neck and I am using the home made soap dish method. I know that the guitar is laminated but all wood should be cared for and proper humidity is part of that. Is there a better way to humidify a resonator?

I think anything you can do to out moisture into a case if you are in a dry climate is a good thing. I have a couple of wood reso's and I just try and get a few boveda bags in the case. There is probably a way to get a damp it or similar to fit into an F-hole if you have that style. I do worry too much humidity might result in some corrosion to the metal parts???

I wouldn't worry too much about laminates...they are not going to crack due to low humidity.

I treat my (non-laminate) wood-bodied resonator the same as the others, only I do not put a humidifier inside it, but instead leave it on the outside, but still in the case with it.

great topic, and one I have not noticed on here before.
I'm guilty of not monitoring my wood resonator as closely as my other guitars, but probably should---thanks for the reminder. We don't have huge humidity swings where I live, but I treat my National resonator like my other wood instruments; monitor humidity and humidify when needed.
