I stored this guitar after purchasing it, and I rarely used it. I haven't touched the truss rod either. Made with high-pressure laminate and Richlite, I think it's tough and can be used without worrying about the weather or storage methods. It will be shipped in a gig bag, using a cardboard box for acoustic guitars. No returns or exchanges, please. The following is a copy-paste for your reference. Sustainable Building Materials Martin prioritizes sustainability above all else. That's why the D-X1E uses environmentally friendly materials. The warm sound and beautiful HPL sides & back have a beautiful pattern. The bridge and fingerboard use FSC-certified Richlite. Richlite is a composite material with acoustic properties between rosewood and ebony. Richlite is completely unaffected by temperature or humidity changes, requires almost no maintenance, and feels great to the touch. Onboard Fishman MX Electronics The D-X1E acoustic-electric guitar is equipped with Fishman MX electronics, and Sweetwater musicians are amazed at how faithfully it reproduces the guitar's original warm and soft tone. The preamp is located inside the soundhole, so the volume and tone knobs are unobtrusive and easy to operate. With such excellent onboard electronics, you can play with confidence whether you're on stage or plugging in for recording.
