Wouldn't it be better / cheaper to put all my guitars in a back bedroom with a standard household humidifier?  There are several potential problems with this approach.  At these levels of relative humidity the temperature differential with exterior walls and windows can result in condensation.  This water can rot wood, peel paint, and cause molds to develop, even inside the walls.  The controls on these humidifiers are notoriously inaccurate, requiring daily checking and adjustment.  Summer dehumidifiers have the same problem.  Add in blower noise, carrying pots of water through the house, and dealing with someone always leaving the door open and this 'simple' system looses its' appeal.  Finally, your guitars are once again locked up and out of sight.

I have a forced air heating system; wouldn't it be better / cheaper to install a whole house humidifier?  The main problem here involves run time and humidifier output.  On most residential systems, the humidifier only runs when the thermostat calls for heat.  The humidifier simply cannot add enough moisture in the air during these brief period to significantly elevate or maintain the levels of humidity required for guitars and other stringed instruments.  An alternative is to modify the system so that the furnace blower runs continuously and the humidifier cycles with the humidistat.  The big problem here is occupant comfort.  When you recirculate 68° to 70° air that is more humid than the room air the result is drafty and bone-chilling.  And, as indicated above, raising the relative humidity in a room with exterior walls and windows invites condensation with resulting damage and molds.

What are the cabinet dimensions?  The standard 3-guitar cabinet is 76" high x 25"deep x 42" wide (the width including standard trim is 46").  The 4-guitar cabinet is 76" high x 25" deep x 48" wide (the width including standard trim is 52").

How often do I have to change the humidifier wicks?  Under normal usage, every 6 months.  Your cabinet ships with 2 wicks.
