Most folks are worrying about humidifying a guitar. I have the opposite problem. Any desiccant type packs the anyone has used in the case to dry things out a bit ?

A sock full of rice......
replace every time you think about it
and use it to feed the dog or dry it in the the oven
I have no proof but it works in the salt cellar,
its cheap and makes me feel better!

Link,
I have a whole bag of them that came with my Ameritage case. You can have them for free if you want. Just pm me your address and I'll send them to you. I have no need for them here in Colorado. Also, you can purchase them from Ameritage as an accessory.

-Soda crackers/Saltines can absorb some moisture (cheap and can be eaten)

-Salt is a natural dessicant, but I would not put it in a guitar case with metal frets, electronics, tuners.

-A good 'dry out' session near the wood stove (or portable hair dryer) can reduce moisture.

-And as stated earlier, rice....
