Ha Everyone...
Boy have i been in a bad position.My right ear has been plugged up with wax,i guess,or,that with an infection!It has really put a damper on my playing/recording/rehearsals,and my mood!
But anyway,like the post title implies,whenever the seasons change,this usually affects your guitar and the way it plays and performs,this is because the neck is wood!Wood expands and contracts with seasonal changes.This in turn affects your guitar action and intonation.
To correct this you must do a basic re-set up.This includes(in order listed)...
1. New strings (same gauge i assume)
2.Tune Up :-) (digital tuner)
3.Truss Rod adjustment
4.Action adjustment(string height)
5.Intonation adjustment
...and...if a dark wood(not maple)fretboard,some lemon oil applied to it
