Re: best room condition?
A steady moderate temp and around 50% humidity is ideal. Wood doesn't like large fluctuations in temp or humidity. Also, keep your guitars in their case when not playing them. Helps keep them protected. -

All the common woods like the conditions danny describes. It's when you go too low that different guitars act differently. Rosewood fretboards are relatively oily and maple is generally finished, so they don't dry out in northern winters as easily as ebony can, which causes shrinkage & cracking. Lemon oil is good.
Electrics aren't as susceptible to problems like acoustics are, which have thin wood and half of their surface area unfinished.Comment
