Above and beyond for your guitar
Maintaining an optimal environmental humidity for your acoustic is absolutely critical. If an instrument is exposed to low levels of humidity for a prolonged period — generally below 40 percent — the wood of your acoustic can crack, causing catastrophic damage. In addition, if an instrument is exposed to high humidity for an extensive period, the wood glues can begin to break down. There’s also the issue of tone quality. The tonewoods of whatever Taylor you own have been carefully selected for the quality of the wood itself, as well as its sonic properties. Spruce, rosewood, koa, mahogany, maple — each has its particular tonal signature and profile that can begin to deteriorate if exposed to either too low a level of humidity or too high. With the TaylorSense app, you not only get a clear, accurate, and easy-to-read humidity percentage level sent to your phone, but you also get immediate help if an issue arises. Taylor has included several embedded videos in the app that provide clear, to-the-point instruction regarding what to do if the humidity level has gone too high or too low, especially for a prolonged period of time. Suffice it to say, here at Sweetwater we are absolutely blown away by the care and attention Taylor has shown in developing this innovative app. We’re confident you will be, as well!
