Your new Faith Guitar is made of solid wood, which is a very good thing, as solid tonewood resonates much more effectively – and therefore sounds much better - than the laminated plywood found on many other inferior instruments.
BUT.. Solid wood is also much more susceptible to changes in humidity, continual air conditioning or extremes of temperature. Increases in humidity will cause the wood to take on more moisture from the surrounding air thus causing the wood to expand; and decreases in humidity will result in moisture being lost from the wood and subsequently the wood shrinking.
If these changes occur quickly, the tone woods may split or bow; the neck my move or twist unnaturally; or the glue may weaken causing problems with joints, bracing or bridge integrity. So, rapid changes in humidity - either up or down - are to be avoided at all costs.
