Excessive dryness will cause an instrument to shrink/contract and crack. For Washburn owners that reside in a dry climate, we recommend storing the instrument in a good quality hard shell case with a small guitar case humidifier. Guitar humidifiers are relatively inexpensive accessories, and can be purchased through any musical instrument shop that deals in acoustic instruments.
Your acoustic guitar is ideally stored in an environment with constant 4. Fahrenheit. Do not expose the instrument to a rapid temperature change, as this may cause the finish and wood to crack. Do not hang or store your guitar by windows, under direct sunlight, or in your car. Cracking and warping caused by dryness and excessive temperature exposure are not covered under warranty.
