Taylor Acoustic & Electric Guitars / Advice Please on Taking an Acoustic on a Summer Holiday in France.
« Last post by kiwisabby on Today at 01:42:27 PM »Hi everyone.
I’m looking for some advice please.
I’ve very recently purchased a beautiful Taylor AD22e. I love it and would like to take it to France with me for the summer in my campervan, but I have concerns because of temperatures in the mid 20s to mid 30s, and because of the high humidity, which I think can be between 60% to 80%.
It has a Taylor AeroCase with the zipper. So, I’m concerned that it might not protect it well enough from the humidity. Do you think it's necessary to buy a hardcase for it? And/or do you think the D'Addario Planet Waves Humidipak would work in a Taylor AeroCase?
And then there’s the heat. Fortunately, the van is white and I can leave the windows down a little and leave a couple of small solar powered fans left on inside, which does keep the temperature down several degrees lower than the outside temperature, but other than that (shade for parking is usually not an option), the inside temperature can be at times very warm. I think it can get up to about 30c to 35c.
Do you think it’s a terrible idea to take it with me? I’ve taken a Taylor Baby (that I no longer have), which had a soft case with a zipper for summer camping in France before with no issues at all, but it cost a fraction of my new AD22e to buy, so I wasn’t so concerned.
Any thoughts / advice would be very much appreciated! Many thanks in advance!
