Do your research. If it is a legit store, no. Any good store will be sure that they've addressed climate control for all the instruments they sell. Also, instruments are much more resiliant that people give them credit for. One of my guitars was acquired from a relative whose house was always humid/damp and the guitar would never stay in tune. By his own admission, a guitar was not enough reason to update his old house to control moisture. I've had the guitar for over a decade now and it keeps tune very, very well (actually, it's by best guitar to stay in tune if I haven't played it for a while.....yes, I have too many guitars...).[br][br]If the store is legit, you shouldn't need to worry.
