First South African onboard?
« on: December 13, 2011, 02:30:27 AM »
Hi,

I'm Dillon from Durban, South Africa. I've been playing acoustic guitar since '98 and I've been lucky enough to own my dream guitar - a Taylor 410ce, for a little over a year now.

Thanks for starting up this forum!

Welcome Polka Dot. Nice looking 410ce you've got there. :) I have a 414ce and think the tone of ovangkol/sitka is heavenly! I haven't heard of any other forum members from South Africa but can't be certain you are the first. I believe you are the first to post from there though! ;)

How is the humidity there? ???

Hello Dillon... So glad to have you join us here.  I believe we all are going to enjoy our stay.  You have a nice looking guitar there.  I've never had a chance to play a 410ce myself, but have read elsewhere that they are nice sounding guitars.

The humidity is crazy here, we certainly don't have to be concerned with guitars drying out or getting 'thirsty'. If anything, there's a problem with too much humidity, especially now with the hot, wet summer months approaching. Relative humidity is usually in the low to mid 70% range from October through to March, from April it usually drops into the 60% range, with lowest being in June and July before picking up again in September.
