My dad is always bringing home these crappy busted-up guitars he intends to "fix" but of course never does. Today in our old falling apart shed, I found this classical guitar that had basically nothing wrong with it other than a lack of strings and a couple minor chips that wouldn't come into play at all.

Trouble is, since it was sitting in an old shed with a massive hole in the roof, it had about three inches of water in it. I poured most of it out, but there's still a bit of moisture in there. My dad says to put a hairdryer to it, but that seems to me like the kind of thing that'd warp the wood. How should I go about drying it?
