What humidity should I keep my guitar at?

Updated

Taylor, the guitar maker, recommends keeping a guitar at 45% to 55% relative humidity, and builds its own guitars at 46%. Keep a digital hygrometer in the case to measure it. Taylor advises against humidifiers that seal the soundhole unless one is paired with a second at the headstock; two-way humidity packs hold 45% to 50%.
