Throw that gel packet out!

Here's a tip for everybody,but it goes out especially to my fellow Arizona residents. Please,throw the little packet of silica gel that came with your new guitar into the trash. First,it is intended to soak up any extra moisture on its trip from overseas. We,as desert dwellers,want MORE moisture,not less. Second,the silica gel doesn't magically work forever. It stopped working a long time ago. Keeping it in your guitar case is doing you no good. Also,don't eat it!
