I have 2 acoustic guitars. One, a basic level DX Martin the other is a really expensive Taylor.

The Martin regardless of the optimal choice is going to stay out at all times to quickly jam on...but i was wondering...

2 guitarists, one with 15 years of experience and the other with 30+ told me to store my Taylor outside of its case when it's sitting at home. Their rationale behind is because you don't want to expose it from one extreme temp to the other. This doesn't really make a lot of sense to me since i feel that wood needs time to be saturated with humidity/heat anyway and live in a very dry area. I've also looked around in forums and have repeatedly seen everyone say leave it in its case.

Any thoughts?

Here are my two beautiful children.
