   I've had the same project on my list for a while.  Did you design it yourself, or did you find a plan you liked somewhere?

   I designed it myself. It's a pretty simple frame and panel design with glass for the panels, so bothe the front and sides can be seen. It's not fancy, but I'll send you a copy if you'd like. It's big enough to hold a jumbo 12 string.....

   Have you considered contacting a guitar retailer to ask what they use?

   If you can get a hold of someone at Taylor or Gibson, they might be able to tell you.

   Or call the owner of a store in Minneapolis called "The Podium".  Their number is 612-331-8893, according to their card that i have that is a few years old.

   They specialize in acoustic instruments, and would know what would be appropriate.

   (And let me know what you find out, that's a good idea, I might do that for my Taylor.

   Try http://www.vigilantinc.com  I'm not sure what humidity range you are looking for, but that have cabinet humidifcation devices typically used for cigars.  Website says it maintains at 66-74%

   Hey ChuckT,

   How about using a soundhole humidifier just as you would in a guitar case. There are several kinds on the market. It would be more effective inside the guitar because the outside has a finish.

   Enjoy, Roy
