Hey, Aditya!
Never go against the grain – whether in wood or your personal make-up. Good to know that you have returned to playing left-handed.
And no, I’ve never worked on a leftie guitar. Frankly speaking, there’s nothing different between a leftie and a rightie guitar IF you take the nut and saddle out of the equation.
Do swing by when you’re visiting Lucknow!

Yes!
All that you say is correct. Solid wood instruments need a lot of attention and care, but then not everyone can afford them.
But unless you are in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, or North-East India Silica gel is poison (even) for your guitar.
About Lucknow humidity, wait a couple of weeks more and you will see the humidity drop below 35%.

I believe it was used to lower the moisture level in the solid wood guitar. But in general isn’t it needed to regulate the moisture level in solid wood guitar in Lucknow where the humidity is generally above 50. I have heard that solid wood guiatrs need humidity between 40-50. What’s the best way to regulate humidity all year round?

I am Aditya, a resident of lucknow but have been outside lucknow for about 10 years due to work. I have started reading your blogs recently and really like them. Like your passion for guitars. I am a lefty and tried learning right handed for a while but it did not work. Recently I started left handed and it feels better. Have you ever worked on left handed guitars? Would love to read about your work on left handed guitar as well. Keep up the great work mate. Cheers!!
