Guitar neck adjusting to climate

[Briman24]

So i went up north with the wife for this long weekend to stay at spa resort. I brought one of my guitars and my little micro cube amp to diddle a bit now and then. When i got here on Friday, it was almost perfectly in tune. Couple of strings were off by a hair. Now today late afternoon, i went to play a bit and it was way out of whack. 4 strings went sharp by quite a lot.
The air conditioner in room is blowing in the area where guitar was so i guess humidity was up and truss rod pulled back a bit as wood got more humid? Crazy how much wood reacts to humidity!

Those damn hotel room coffee makers always burn the shit out of the coffee.

I have guitars I haven’t adjusted in years, along with guitars that need adjustments more frequently.
I guess it depends on the density of the wood….who knows

I adjust my guitars every time I play them. Takes like 2-3 minutes along with a tuning. I like my stuff to play consistently. They never need much adjustment, usually a tiny truss rod tweak and they are good to go. First thing I do is check tuning. If it is out a lot I know the neck is likely the cause. Easy peasey.

Yeah the neck releif is still spot on where i like it but the neck must have move back a little. The air conditioning and jacuzzi last night raises humidity in room.

I just tune by banging the strings together 2 at a time starting with the A/D and go to town. Haven't used a tuner in a long time. Redneck as fuck.

So I don‘t want to be a douche by correcting you, but an air conditioner (when cooling) usually blows out dry, cold air. So humidity drops in the room.

But the jacuzzi is right next to it I think also when cold air meets hot air....it creates condensation

And tornadoes, better put them in their cases.
