STOP THE WINTER FRET BUZZ - Easy Acoustic Guitar Humidity Fix
Is your acoustic guitar buzzing this winter? My Martin SC-28e started buzzing like crazy, and in this video, I’m testing a "set it and forget it" solution recommended by the professionals at The Music Zoo in Farmingdale, NY.
The Story: I took my Martin to The Music Zoo thinking I needed an expensive Martin Sure Align neck adjustment and new shims. Refreshingly, their expert tech was honest enough to tell me it just needed hydration! It's refreshing to work with a shop that prioritizes honesty over a quick sale.

The Goal: You want to maintain a constant 45% to 50% relative humidity year-round to keep your acoustic guitar healthy and playable.
The Test: I'm testing the D'Addario Humidipak system—a maintenance-free, two-way system that adds or removes moisture to hit that 45-50% sweet spot. I'm putting my Martin in "humidification jail" for 7 days to test the effectiveness of this recommendation.
Gear Mentioned:
D'Addario Humidipak Maintain Packs: The easy way to keep your guitar in the safe zone.
D'Addario Humidipak Restore Kit: Use this first if your guitar is already buzzing or severely dry.
