By the way that Martin 000SM that went bad was up in the Blue Mountains, elevation about 1000m, which is a lot dryer than Sydney. So it wasn’t humidity ti blame. As I reduced the saddle height on the Martin, to maintain a playable action, the guitar lost volume and mojo 😢 It had a really skinny neck too which didn’t help. Dumb choice imho for a vintage type instrument. That was 15 years ago. 💽
