Has anyone else noticed a difference in their guitars with high humidity?
I'm not talking about acoustics that are, we all know, very sensitive to humidity changes, but electrics.
Not even fret sprout and such, but the sound of the guitar.
The reason I ask, we've had some really high humidity for the past week or so.
I was playing one of my guitars, it's been a couple weeks since I picked that one up, and the sound was almost muffled, like the tone pot was
most of the way down. This guitar is a bit darker than most of my others, but nothing like this.
I plugged a couple others in and they sounded almost normal. I haven't changed any settings on amp or effects.
This one has fairly new strings, there hasn't been any issues with it before this.
I suppose over time, I've had guitars that don't sound right that day for some reason but haven't figured anything out about why.
